Origin

Tamnava is born from several brooks coming from the hill from Konjsko brdo (into Cyrillic: Коњскобрдо , the " hill of the cheval"), on the slopes septentrionaes of the mount Vlašić, in the North-West of the town of Valjevo, with less than one kilometer of its principal affluent, the Ub. Tamnava moves towards Miličinica and oblique to the North-West along the Vlašić mount, it crosses Donje Crniljevo and makes another elbow in direction of the east to the hill of Braznik (into Cyrillic: Бразник ), close to Gradojević. In Kamenica, the course of Tamnava forms an almost complete circle.

The area of Tamnava

The area of Tamnava starts when the river passes between Subotica and the small town of Koceljeva. The localities of Tamnava, Novaci, Kalinovac, Trlić, Sovljak and Crvena Jabuka are located on the river. Then it receives water of the Ub close to Šarbane. The river obliques then in direction of the North-West and passes to Liso Polje before being thrown in the Kolubara, in the south of Belgrade, in the suburb of Obrenovac.
