The Željeznica ( Serbian - Cyrillic Жељезница ) is a right tributary of the Bosna in Bosnia and Herzegovina . It rises at the foot of the Treskavica mountains above the village of Godinja. There it has a number of rapids and whirlpools. The Željeznica basin is a natural phenomenon upstream of the village of Turovi .

The Željeznica flows west along the Jahorina Mountains and east from Treskavica and Bjelašnica through the towns of Trnovo and Ilidža before it finally flows into the Bosna in western Sarajevo .

On the right bank of the river is the archaeological site of Butmir . Nearby is the source of the Bosna ( Vrelo Bosne ).
