The Râul Negru in Romania

The Râul Negru ( Schwarzbach ; Hungarian Feketügy ) is a tributary of the Olt ( Alt ), which flows in the Covasna and Brașov districts in the Romanian region of Transylvania .

It rises in the Nemira Mountains , a part of the Eastern Carpathian Mountains , and then flows mainly in a south-westerly direction until it flows into the Olt in the municipality of Prejmer ( Tartlau ).

On its course through very hilly terrain, the water is mainly characterized by alternating rapids and smaller waterfalls. The Râul Negru serves as an important source of water for agriculture and the neighboring communities.
