where is the drina river

The Drina River is in the central Balkans, in southeastern Europe, forming much of the border between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia and flowing north to join the Sava River.

Quick Scoop

• The Drina is about 346 km (215 miles) long.

• It starts at the confluence of the Tara and Piva rivers, near the border area of Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

• For much of its course it serves as a natural border between Bosnia and Herzegovina (west bank) and Serbia (east bank).

• It flows generally northward through canyons and valleys before emptying into the Sava River near Bosanska Rača (BiH) and Crna Bara (Serbia).

• The Drina lies within the wider Danube basin, since the Sava is a major tributary of the Danube.

In short: if you look at a map of the western Balkans, you’ll find the Drina running between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia, eventually meeting the Sava River to the north.
