Zlatarishka reka

The Zlatarishka reka (Bulgarian) is a 56.5 km-long river in northern Bulgaria, a right tributary of the Veselina, itself a right tributary of the river Stara reka of the Yantra. It is the largest tributary of the Veselina. The Zlatarishka reka takes its source under the name Zelenishka reka at an altitude of 1,315 m some 300 m north of the Chumerna refuge in the Elena–Tvarditsa division of the Balkan Mountains and flows in general direction north throughout its whole course. Until the village of Ruhovtsi it flows in a deep forested valley, which eventually widens as it runs through the eastern parts of the Elena Valley. It then bisects the Elena Heights in the 10 km long Boaza Gorge. Downstream of the gorge the valley widens again, the river passes through Zlataritsa and some 1.6 km north of the town flows into the Veselina at an altitude of 85 m. Its drainage basin covers a territory of 187 km2 or 21.2% of the Veselina's total. High water is in March–June and low water is in July–October. The river flows entirely in Veliko Tarnovo Province.
