Jelezovac (Serbian Cyrillic: Јелезовац) is an urban neighborhood of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. It is located in the municipality of Rakovica. Though official city documents refer to the area as part of the Sunčani Breg-Jelezovac settlement, the neighborhood which developed in the western part of the Jelezovac area is known as Miljakovac III. Jelezovac remains as the name for the brook and its, still partially non-urbanized valley.[1][2][3]
Jelezovac area occupies entire central-east part of the Rakovica municipality, adjoining the Voždovac municipality and its neighborhood of Jajinci (sub-neighborhoods Rasadnik and Mala Utrina). It is bordered by Kanarevo Brdo and southeast extension of Banjica II are on the north and Miljakovac II and Miljakovac Forest on the northwest. Central western section is urbanized as Miljakovac III while on the south it reaches the Kružni Put thoroughfare, and the neighborhoods of Resnik (to the west) and Selo Rakovica (to the east).[1][2][3]
Valley
The stream springs in the southern part of Jajinci and generally flows into the northwest direction, forming the boundary between the municipalities of Rakovica and Voždovaca for the most of its course. Water spring Kladenac is located in the lower section of the valley. The Lipica creek, flowing from the Mala Utrina area, is the right, and largest tributary. Both streams have torrential water levels. The Jelezovac itself flows into the Kaljavi Potok, at the Messer Tehnogas complex. Kaljavi Potok, in turn, continues to the west for 1.5 km (0.93 mi) and flows into the Topčiderka. This final section is completely regulated and conducted underground.[2][3][4]
The valley is divided into the Upper Jelezovac (Gornji Jelezovac, altitude of 189 m (620 ft)) and Lower Jelezovac (Donji Jelezovac, 156 m (512 ft)). Upper section occupies the area around the source of the stream, close to the Rakovički Creek and Mali Zabran locality, while the lower encompasses the central section and the area around the creek's mouth.[3][5]
