Vrelo (Serbian Cyrillic: Врело) is a right tributary of the river Drina in the settlement of Perućac, Bajina Bašta municipality in Serbia. The river is only 365 meters long and is probably one of the shortest rivers in the world.[1]
Due to its length (same number of meters as days per year), many call it the Godina (Serbian Cyrillic: Година, "Year") and say it's one year long. The river has a large spring and after its short course it flows into the Drina via a waterfall. Although short, the river has all the characteristics of major rivers - the great, powerful source from which water gushes whitish, a pond on the right bank, water mill on the left, a left tributary in the form of clear creek, a village on the left bank, two bridges.[2]
