Bjelovacka, also sometimes called Bjelovarska, is a small river and tributary of the Česma river. It flows in the vicinity of the city of Bjelovar.
Bjelovacka forms at the mouth of two small streams named Jelinec and Seča north of Veliko Trojstvo, both of which originate from the slopes of Bilogora. South of Bjelovar, within Veliko Korenovo and Narta it flows into the Česma.
Description
Bjelovacka flows through Veliko Trojstvo, Grginac, Prokljuvani, Trojstveni Markovac, Novoseljani, Brezovac and Veliko Korenovo until it flows into the Česma river near Narta. Bjelovacka is fully regulated into a canal due to its historical tendency to flood. Historically it formed swamp-like conditions east of Bjelovar.
In the vicinity of Bjelovacka, within the Lug forest, the remains of a larger Roman rural settlement have been found, as well as archaeological findings dating to antiquity of glass and ceramics.[3]
