Uvac
Sign in to saveThe Uvac () is a trans-boundary river that rises in southwestern Serbia and flows into eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina, where it eventually joins the Lim river. Rising under Serbia's Golija mountain and Pešter plateau, the Uvac flows through southwestern Serbia before crossing into eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina where, after 115 km, it finally meets the Lim river from the right. However, before it empties into the Lim, the Uvac forms the border between the two countries for a 10 kilometers. Also, while meandering through Serbia, the Uvac loosely marks the northern border of the Raška regio
