Rakovički potok

The 883rd longest river in the world

km

The Rakovički potok (Serbian, Rakovički potok, lit. 'Rakovica Creek') is a short stream in north-central Serbia, an 8,5 kilometer-long right tributary to the Topčiderka river. During its entire flow it runs through the southern outskirts of the urban section of Belgrade. It is one of the 40 rivers, streams and creeks that flow or used to flow through Belgrade, but as the majority of them is completely or partially conducted underground into the city sewage system, Rakovički potok avoided such faith. Even though it is short, the creek flows through a number of Belgrade's neighborhoods and gave its name to two urban neighborhoods of Belgrade, one municipality and a monastery.

Flows through: Serbia.
