The Ljuta river begins as Srednja Voda creek (transl. Middle Water) from "Baletina Voda" spring (transl. Middle Water) that emerges in the areal above Ljuta village, under the northwestern ridge of Treskavica mountain, and after a short run, cca. 5 kilometers, it joins with the Bijela Vodica and Božija Vodica creeks where it become the Ljuta. The Ljuta river forms a cca 30km long valley squeezed between Treskavica and Visočica, southeast from Sarajevo.
Bosnia and Herzegovina on several occasions, since 1998, was preparing to establish a large national park which, according to developed but never operationalized plans, would comprise the entire region of Gornja Neretva (English: Upper Neretva), including region between the Rakitnica and the Ljuta rivers.[1][2]
