A river which courses through a very tight meander is also sometimes said to form a "peninsula" within the (almost closed) loop of water.

It would include Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia and the [[East Thrace|European part]] of Turkey.
