Encyclopedia
The Krupa river is the Neretva left tributary and the main water current of Hutovo Blato

river. The length of Krupa is 9 km with an average depth of 5 meters. Krupa does not have an actual source, but is actually an arm of Deransko lake. Also, the Krupa is a unique river in Europe

pushes the Krupa river in opposite direction
