From Treskavica mountain an altitude of 1520 m, flows the Rakitnica River about 32 km long. Its deep valley intersected between the Visočica and Bjelašnica mountains. The almost entire upper course of the Rakitnica River is overgrown with willow trees named Rakita, which is a specific type of tree. Hence the eponymous name for the village and the river.
In the area of the territory of the city of Konjic, four smaller streams flow into Rakitnica: the Peruća stream, the tributary of Međeđa, the left tributary of Grušča and Studeni Potok.
