Adija

Adija is a river in Central Europe, primarily flowing through Croatia and Serbia. It is a right tributary of the Danube, joining it near the city of Belgrade. The river's name is derived from the Slavic word "adja," meaning "to flow." Adija originates in the Dinaric Alps in Croatia, near the town of Ozalj. It flows generally in a northwesterly direction, passing through the Croatian regions of Kordun and Banovina before entering Serbia. The river is approximately 200 kilometers long and has a drainage basin of about 2,700 square kilometers. Adija is known for its scenic beauty, with lush forests and picturesque landscapes along its course. The river is also significant for its ecological importance, supporting a diverse range of flora and fauna. Historically, Adija has been an important waterway for transportation and trade, connecting various regions and facilitating the movement of goods and people. Today, it remains a vital water resource for both Croatia and Serbia, contributing to the irrigation of agricultural lands and the generation of hydroelectric power.
