It was known as Brongus in antiquity. Origin The West Morava originates in the Tašti field, east of the town of Požega, from the Golijska Moravica and Đetinja headstreams. Đetinja receives from the left its main tributary, the Skrapež. Less than a kilometer after the confluence, it meets the Golijska Moravica flowing from the south, forming the West Morava.

Measured from the source of the Golijska Moravica, the West Morava is 282 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
