In ancient times, it had the name Drinos, and the people gave her the names Zelenika and Zelenka (according to the green color of water). The Drina River surrounds Tara from the northwestern and northern sides and represents the largest contact river in the municipality of Bajina Basta in the length of 60 km(Western Serbia). The Drina is one of the cleanest watercourses of Serbia.
