Ljuta, also called Dindolka, is one of the main tributaries of the first section of the Neretva river, also called Upper Neretva (). It meets Neretva from the right, flowing from north to south, between Treskavica and VisoÃÂica mountains.
The Ljuta river begins as Srednja Voda creek () from "Baletina Voda" spring () 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 Boà ¾ija Vodica creeks where it become the Ljuta. The Ljuta river forms a cca 30 km long valley squeezed between Treskavica and VisoÃÂica, 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 (), including region between the Rakitnica and the Ljuta rivers.
