Sava (river)
Sava also Save (German Save, Hungarian Száva) is a river in Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia, a right side tributary of Danube at Belgrade. It is 940 km long and drains 95,720 km2 of surface area. In Roman times the river was named Savus.
The Sava has two main sources, both in the north-western, Alpine region of Slovenia. The spring of Sava Dolinka is in Zelenci near Kranjska Gora. The other leg of the river originates as Savica ("little Sava") and then flows into Lake Bohinj, which it leaves as Sava Bohinjka. Both legs meet at Radovljica, and the river is known as the Sava past that point.
Its main tributaries are the Savinja, Mirna, Krka, Kupa, Lonja, Orljava and Bosut, Una, Vrbas, Ukrina, Bosna, Tinja, Lukovac, Drina and Kolubara.
Towns on the Sava include Kranj, Zagorje ob Savi, Trbovlje, Hrastnik, Radeče, Sevnica, Krško and Brežice in Slovenia, Zagreb, Sisak, Slavonski Brod and Županja in Croatia, Bosanski Šamac and Brčko in Bosnia and Herzegovia and Sremska Mitrovica, Šabac and Belgrade in Serbia.
