The Bregava (Serbian Cyrillic: Брегава) is a sinking river in Bosnia and Herzegovina that passes through the town of Stolac. It is a left tributary of the Neretva river.
The river Bregava and its buildings - bridges, mills and stamping mills over the river - constitutes the backbone of the urban layout of Stolac. It passes through two waterfalls in Stolac, one of which is natural and the other artificial, and continues its way through the shallow and fertile Bregava gorge, leading to Badanj Cave. It is famous for its pure turquoise colour and clean waters, like the Neretva river which passes through Mostar. Many natural beaches are spread along the river.
