⭐ Core Definition: Bosut (river)

The Bosut (Serbian Cyrillic: Босут) is a river in the Syrmia region of eastern Croatia and northwestern Serbia. It is a 186 km long, slow and meandering left tributary of the Sava river.

The riverbed begins near the left embankment of the Sava river between Županja and Štitar (45°05′46″N 18°40′36″E / 45.09611°N 18.67667°E / 45.09611; 18.67667), which in the past was an outflow channel, and a connection with the Sava. Some 2,400 m (1.5 mi) farther, the Bosut gets its first water from the Berava river (45°06′59″N 18°40′45″E / 45.11639°N 18.67917°E / 45.11639; 18.67917). The narrow riverbed widens in Cerna, where it receives the water of the Biđ.

Bosut (river) in the context of Sava

The Sava is a river in Central and Southeast Europe, a right-bank and the longest tributary of the Danube. From its source in Slovenia it flows through Croatia and along its border with Bosnia and Herzegovina, and finally reaches Serbia, feeding into the Danube in its capital, Belgrade.

The Sava is 990 kilometres (615 miles) long, including the 45-kilometre (28 mi) Sava Dolinka headwater rising in Zelenci, Slovenia. It is the largest tributary of the Danube by volume of water, and the second-largest after the Tisza in terms of catchment area (97713km²) and length. It drains a significant portion of the Dinaric Alps region, through the major tributaries of Drina, Bosna, Kupa, Una, Vrbas, Lonja, Kolubara, Bosut and Krka. The Sava is one of the longest rivers in Europe and among the longest tributaries of another river.
