Sava River

   Also found in: Wikipedia, Hutchinson 0.03 sec.

Sava River

River, western Balkans, southern Europe. It flows for 584 mi (940 km), and its basin covers much of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, and northern Serbia. It rises in the Julian Alps as two rivers, which join at Radovlijica. It then flows through Slovenia and Croatia, forming the border between Croatia and Bosnia before entering Serbia and joining the Danube River at Belgrade.
