Koševski Potok


Koševski Potok is a river in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The river is partially subterranean, as a significant portion of its course is covered in a man-made diversion project, designed for gaining space for urban development since the late 1940s and early 1950s.

Headwaters

The Koševski Potok originates from a confluence of two smaller creeks in the region of Nahorevo neighbourhood, on the northern outskirts of Sarajevo, Nahorevski Potok and Grončavica creek, draining from plateaus of Bukovik, Crepoljsko and Biosko, southeastern and southern slopes of Ozren mountain.

Subterranean section

The Koševski Potok enters the urban area of Sarajevo from the north, between Pionirska Dolina recreation park and neighbourhood of Koševo, and at that point is diverted underground. From this point Koševski Potok is underground and it runs through the urban area of Sarajevo all the way to Skenderija neighbourhood, where it meets the Miljacka river near the Sarajevo City Hall.
Some 100 meters from confluence, Koševski Potok emerges from underground within a public park where the Sarajevo City Hall is situated, just a few meters from Ali Pasha Mosque. It runs through the park and enters underground once more for the last 30 or so meters before empties into Miljacka.
