The Krka (German: Gurk) is a river in the historic Lower Carniola region of Slovenia, a right tributary of the Sava.
It sources at Gradiček near the village of Krka, about 10 km (6 mi) southwest of Ivančna Gorica and around 25 km (16 mi) southeast of Ljubljana, before flowing southeast. It passes the town of Žužemberk, Dolenjske Toplice, the town of Novo Mesto, Otočec Castle and Kostanjevica na Krki, to meet the Sava at Brežice near the Croatian border.
With a length of 94 km (58 mi) it is the second longest river flowing in its entirety in Slovenia.[1] Its largest tributary is Prečna, the continuation of the Temenica river.[2]
