Kruševica (river)
River in Bosnia and Herzegovina
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kruševica is the strongest right tributary of Vrbanja in central Bosnia. It rises from two streams (Vilenski and Grebenski potok = Fairy's and Reefs stream) whose source is on the northeast slopes of the Očauš Mountain (at around 950 above sea level). The source is exposed to the Borja Mountain.[1][2][3] On geographic maps, Kruševica is often marked as another river (Bobovica), whose estuary is around 20 miles upstream.
