The Archar or Archaritsa is a river in the western Danubian Plain of northwestern Bulgaria and a right tributary of the Danube. It is 59 kilometres in length. Geography The river takes its source at an altitude of 1,060 m, just 200 m east of the summit of Babin Zab (1,107 m) in the northwestern part of the Balkan Mountains. It initially flows eastwards in a forested mountain valley until the village of Rayanovtsi. The river then continues east through limestone terrain, forming a deep canyon-like valley with steep banks, in certain sections up to 100 metres high. In that section it receives its largest tributaries, including the Salashka reka. At the village of Ostrokaptsi the Archar bends to the northeast and at Vartop turns east. It flows into the Danube at an altitude of 30 m at the homonymous village. Its drainage basin covers a territory of 365 km2.
