Kolubara

The Kolubara (Serbian Cyrillic, pronounced [kɔlǔbara]) is an 87 km (54 mi) long river in western Serbia; it is an eastern, right tributary to the Sava river. Due to the many long tributaries creating a branchy system within the river's drainage basin, the short Kolubara drains relatively large area of 3,639 km2 (1, 405 sq mi). It is part of the larger Black Sea drainage. The river is not navigable, but its valley is very important for transportation. Here are located Belgrade-Valjevo road, parts of Belgrade-Šabac road, Ibarska magistrala (Highway of Ibar) and the Belgrade-Bar railway. The Kolubara was the site of one of the major battles on the Balkans in the World War I, the Battle of Kolubara in 1914. There is a game hunting ground "Kolubara" in the valley of the river, on the territory of the Lazarevac municipality.
