Kruševica (river)

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.
