Ugar (river)
The Ugar (Serbian Cyrillic: Угар, known as the Brzica until
Ugar
1878)[1] is a river of Bosnia, a tributary of the Vrbas river. It
Brzica
originates at the slopes of Vlašić, upstream of Sažići and
Melina villages (at around of 1590 meters above sea level), a
watershed area of Vrbanja, Ilomska and Bila rivers. The valley
along the Ugar is known as Pougarje.
Geography and hydrology

The Ugar's length is around 44.5 kilometres, and its catchment
is around 328 km2 . Its largest right tributaries are: Pljačkovac,
Ilomska, Kobilja, Zirin Potok and Kusin Potok (Ziro's and
Kuso's creeks), and Ugrić; left tributaries are the creeks:
namely Lužnica Potok, Dedića Potok, Andrijevića Potok,
Bunar, Oraški Potok, and Kukavički Potok.[2][3][4]
At its source Ugar and its headwaters tributaries creates series

of waterfalls. After short, but deep canyon (below the
Babanovac plateau) it enters into Pougarje, under the Ranča
Mountain. By this, Ugar flows into a deep and long canyon
under Skender Vakuf, around 20 kilometres downstream of Ugar river, at the bottom of its deep
Jajce. Notch of the Canyon is a very arduous and its maximal canyon
depth is (approximately) 500 m. The area in the valley along
the Ugar, from Vitovlje to its Canyon is marked as Pougarje[5]
The area along the Ugar is known as Pougarje. Pougarje

extends from the Vitovlje village to the Ugar's entrance into the
canyon below Skender Vakuf. It is located between Ranča
Mountain (left) and rock's massif Korićanske stijene - Ugarske
stijene (Ugar's rocks).[6] From Vitovlje to Ugar's canyon it is
known as the Lower (Donje) Pougarje, while the area on
Ranča's slopes is Upper (Gornje) Pougarje.[7][8][2][9]
The valley (especially the slopes of Ranča) is rich in coniferous

and mixed deciduous-coniferous forests. The upper and middle
part of the basin in the area still has the character of a salmonid Ugar river in Bosnia and Herzegovina
water, now there are only (brown trout), while the huchen and Location
grayling have disappeared in the recent past. The surrounding
Country Bosnia and
forests are inhabited by the big game (fox, wolf, bear, wild Herzegovina
