Mileševka

The confluence of Mileševka in Lim

The Mileševka (Mileševa) is a river in southeastern Serbia[1] and a major tributary of the Lim. It is part of the Danube catchment basin.

Course

The Mileševka rises on the northern slopes of Mount Jadovnik in Zlatar range below Karaula Pass (1305 m). The river flows west-northwest and passes through the villages of Milošev Do and Kaćevo. It then turns slightly oblique northwards, up past the village of Hisardžik, the Mileševa Fortress and the Mileševa monastery. It then resumes its course westward. It empties into the Lim at the city of Prijepolje.[2] Its total length is about twenty kilometres.
