It rises between the north-western slopes of the mountains Očauš and Šipraška brda near Šiprage (municipality of Kotor Varoš ) at about 1,200 m above sea level and flows south-east. The river drains the central part of the northern slopes of the Dinaric Alps and flows into Šiprage after a length of 12 km. He is known for his water mills; in the 1950s one counted around 18.
