  Veternica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Veternica originates from the Grot peak, the southernmost part of the Kukavica mountain.
As the Veternica bends to the northeast, it enters the low Veternica region, part of the Leskovac field in the composite valley of the Južna Morava.
Small region, located between the Kukavica mountain on the south and the Jablanica region on the north, is divided in two micro-regions, upper one being centered around the small town of Vučje (which is not located on the river itself) while the center of the lower micro-region is the town of Leskovac.

 culturenet.hr - Panorama - Art - Time - History of Croatian Art - Traces of Prehistoric Communities
Traces of human presence on the territory of Croatia have been found from the very earliest period of man's recorded existence on European soil - the palaeolithic or old stone age.
But these are merely tiny flickers of life scattered about a huge area: in the eaves of Krapina and Vindija, at Veternica near Zagreb, at Ivanec and in the Lika region, beside the Limski kanal in Istria and in a few other places.
The first evidence of human activity: a few roughly shaped flints, blade flakes and scrapers, along with bone tools, are the first modest indications of the skills and admirable intelligence with which the prehistoric hunter engaged in his unequal struggle with more powerful beasts and the hostile nature of those harsh times.
