Temštica
Coordinates: 43°18′N 22°37′E / 43.300°N 22.617°EThe Temštica (Serbian: Темштица) or Temshtitsa (Bulgarian: Темщица) is a river in Serbia and Bulgaria, a right tributary of the Nišava River. The Temštica itself is not very long, but receives a much longer tributary, the Visočica (Cyrillic: Височица), flowing from Bulgaria, making the Visočica-Temštica river system 86 km long.
The Temštica or the Toplodoska reka (Cyrillic: Топлодолска река) originates from five streams from the Stara Planina mountain on the Serbo-Bulgarian border. Three major streams spring out from several peaks of Stara Planina: Midžor/Midzhur, Vražija Glava/Vrazha glava, Bratkova Strana and Gola Glava (Cyrillic: Миџор (Serbian) or Миджур (Bulgarian); Вражија Глава (Serbian) or Вража глава (Bulgarian); Браткова Страна; Гола Глава). They all join together near the village of Topli Dol, which gives the alternative name to the river. Temštica carved a canyon, popularly nicknamed "Little Colorado". The river continues to the northwest and receives the Visočica from the left.
The Visočica or Visochitsa (Cyrillic: Височица) is 71 km long, originating in Bulgaria from the mountain of Berkovska planina, a part of Stara Planina, near Kom Peak, just a few kilometers away from the Serbian border. The river, in this section known also as Barlska reka from the name of the village of Barlya, flows to the south, reaching the Zabarde region of eastern Bulgaria and the northern slopes of the Gora mountain, where it turns west and enters the Visok depression at the village of Komshtitsa (Bulgarian: Комщица). Soon after it turns west, the Visočica crosses the Bulgarian-Serbian border.
