Sava River

The Sava River is a major waterway in Southeast Europe, flowing approximately 990 kilometers through countries including Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and Montenegro. It starts in the Julian Alps, near Slovenia, and ultimately joins the Danube in Serbia. The river is vital for regional transportation, agriculture, and ecology, supporting diverse habitats and communities along its course. It also plays a key role in cross-border cooperation, managing water resources and environmental protection among the nations it traverses. The Sava's basin is a critical natural corridor, fostering economic activity and ecological sustainability in the region.
