Sava in Zagreb near Youth Bridge on 13 February 2014 after record rainfall, which, combined with melting snow, expanded the river to three times its normal size, rising to the height of 347 cm and reaching the levees. At the time the picture was taken, the water level started subsiding and was at 287 cm. The trees in the water indicate the usual width of the river, around 100 m.
