Beschrijving

The river Zasavica is about 30 km long, with numerous flood depressions and forest barriers. The width of this slowly meandering river is up to 80 metres, and the average depth is 2.5 m. Private forest groves of oak, ash, black alder, white willow and poplar have been preserved along its course.
