This river typical of lowlands springs in Croatia, and flows into the Sava River right near Bosut.

Dense oak forests cover about 20,000 hectares along the Bosut River, which in some parts have the characteristics of a lowland rainforest.

The river does not flow through the riverbed created by its own waters, but by a part of the waters of the Sava River.

In the upper and mid course, the Bosut riverbed is dry during the summer, which is why the Turks named it that - in Turkish, "bos" means empty and desolate, and "sut" is water.

The Romans would say, referring to the Bosut, that they have a river in their empire that flows in one direction until noon, and in the other later.

Namely, the Bosut sometimes flows so slowly that even the slightest wind can move the water in one direction or another.
