Marko's River has a maximum depth of four meters. It is subject to summer drought and snowmelt in the spring, and therefore experiences a very different flow depending on the season.[1] Its name, along with the village of Markova Sušica and Marko's Monastery, pays homage to Prince Marko. The river has great potential for irrigation.
