The Mlava (Serbian Cyrillic: Млава) is a river in Serbia, 158 km long right tributary of the Danube. Origin Mlava originates as the ''Tisnica'', from the Kučaj mountains in eastern Serbia, under the ''Veliki Krš'' peak. It flows to the north and curves around the eastern slopes of the mountain Beljanica, through an almost uninhabited area. Reaching the Homolje region, the Tisnica receives from the right a very powerful outflow of the karst well of Žagubičko vrelo (Žagubica well), at an altitude of 320 meters, and from that point the river is known as the Mlava. Measured from the Žagubičko vrelo, the river is 118 km long. Upper course (Homolje region) Originally, the Mlava flows to the northwest, but soon turns to the north, which is the general direction it follows for the rest of its course. It flows next to the Žagubica, the main center of Homolje valley, and the villages of Izvarica (where it receives from the right the ''Jošanička reka''), Ribar ...
