Koševski Potok is a river in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.[1] The river is partially subterranean, as a significant portion of its course passing through long box culvert, covering the river in a man-made structure and diversion project, designed for gaining space for urban development since the late 1940s and early 1950s.
The Koševski Potok originates from a confluence of two smaller creeks in the region of Nahorevo neighbourhood, on the northern outskirts of Sarajevo, Nahorevski Potok and Grončavica creek (itself continuation of sinking creek called Grabovica which runs between plateaus of Crepoljsko and Biosko), draining from plateaus of Bukovik, Crepoljsko and Biosko, southeastern and southern slopes of Ozren mountain.[citation needed] Uroševo Vrelo, abundant wellspring is located in the area.
