Lištica is a sinking river in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It starts under the name Ugrovača, and end its course as the Jasenica in Mostarsko Polje, before spills into the Neretva as its right-bank tributary. It is listed as the second coldest river in Europe, and is prone to constant flooding mostly during winter. The Lištica river connects with the Borak wellspring, which rises at the base of the mountainside on the outskirts of town of Široki Brijeg. The town of Široki Brijeg was named Lištica after the Lištica River during the SFR Yugoslavia (1945–1990) but changed its name when the country dissolved back into Bosnia and Herzegovina.
