Crni Timok

The Crni Timok (Serbian: Црни Тимок; "Black Timok"), also known as Crna reka (Cyrillic: Црна река; "black river") or the Krivovirski Timok River (Cyrillic: Кривовирски Тимок; "Timok of Krivi Vir"), is a headwater of the Timok River.

It originates from the northern side of the Veliki Maljenik mountain, in the Kučaj area of eastern Serbia. It flows near the village of Krivi Vir and continues generally to the north-east, flowing through the Crnorečka kotlina (Cyrillic: Црноречка котлина; "depression of Crna Reka"), populated with many smaller villages (Lukovo, Jablanica, Valakonje, Savinac, Gamzigrad, Zvezdan). At Gamzigrad there is also an important archeological site from Roman times].
