The Golyama reka is a 75 km-long river in northern Bulgaria, a right and the largest tributary of the Stara reka. The Golyama reka takes its source at an altitude of 654 m, west of the village of Gorsko Selo in the Lisa Mountain of the fore-Balkan. It flows north, then turns east and in 2 km enters the southern arm of the Yastrebino Reservoir, constructed along its course. Downstream of the reservoir's dam, the Golyama reka continues northwards, then near the village of Razdeltsi bends west and at Lyubentsi — northwest, flowing in a deep, densely forested and ravine-like valley throughout that section. At the village of Manastiritsa, the river turns west, and upstream of the town of Strazhitsa — southwest, and its valley widens. It flows into the Stara reka at an altitude of 66 m close to Kesarevo. Its drainage basin covers a territory of 864 km2.
