Reka (river)

The Reka (meaning 'river' in Slovene), also Notranjska Reka ('Inner Carniolan River') is a river that starts as Vela voda in Croatia, on the southern side of Mount Snežnik, and flows through western Slovenia. The river is 54 km long. At the village of Škocjan it disappears underground through Škocjan Caves (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), flowing 38 km underneath the Slovenian Karst. The river continues as part of the Timavo River in Italy.
