Ljuta (Dindolka)

Ljuta, also called Dindolka, is one of the main tributaries of the first section of the Neretva river, also called Upper Neretva . It meets Neretva from the right, flowing from north to south, between Treskavica and Visočica mountains.

Geography

The Ljuta river begins as Srednja Voda creek ' from "Baletina Voda" spring ' that emerges in the areal above Ljuta village, under the northwestern ridge of Treskavica mountain, and after a short run, cca. 5 kilometers, it joins with the Bijela Vodica and Božija Vodica creeks where it become the Ljuta.
The Ljuta river forms a cca 30 km long valley squeezed between Treskavica and Visočica, southeast from Sarajevo.

Protection

Bosnia and Herzegovina on several occasions, since 1998, was preparing to establish a large national park which, according to developed but never operationalized plans, would comprise the entire region of Gornja Neretva , including region between the Rakitnica and the Ljuta rivers.
