Buna (Neretva)
The Buna (Serbian Cyrillic: Буна) is a short river in Bosnia and Herzegovina; it is a left-bank tributary of the Neretva.[1] Its source, Vrelo Bune (Buna Spring),[2] is a strong karstic spring located near the village of Blagaj, southeast of Mostar. Vrelo Bune is one of the strongest springs in Europe and has extremely cold water.[3][4] The Buna flows west for approximately 9 km, starts at Blagaj and, meandering through the villages of Blagaj, Kosor, Malo Polje and Hodbina, joins the Neretva at settlement Buna. The Bunica river is the main left-bank tributary of the Buna. The Buna is major habitat for an endemic trout species known under its vernacular name as Softmouth trout.
