See also:SAVE, or SAVA (Ger. Sau; Hungarian Szdva; See also:Lat. Savus) , one of the See also:principal right-See also:bank affluents of the See also:Danube . It runs almost parallel with the other See also:great tributary of the Danube, the See also:Drave, both having about the same length . The See also:Save rises in the Triglav See also:group in See also:Carniola from two See also:sources, the Wurzener Save and the Wocheiner Save, which join at Radmannsdorf . It then takes a See also:south-easterly course, and flows through Carniola and Croatia-Slavonia—forming from Jasenovac the frontier-See also:line between it and Bosnia and See also:Servia—and joins the Danube at See also:Belgrade . The Save has a length of 442 m., the See also:area of its See also:basin being 34,000 sq. m . It is navigable for steamers from See also:Sissek to its mouth, a distance of 36o m., but See also:navigation is greatly hindered by shifting sandbanks and other obstructions . Its principal affluents are, on the right, the See also:Sora, See also:Laibach, Gurk, Kulpa, Una, Vrbas, Bosna and Drina; and on the See also:left, the See also:Kanker, Feistritz, Sann, Sotla, Krapina, Lonjaand Orljava . |
