The Negovanka is a 46 km-long river in northern Bulgaria, a right tributary of the Rositsa. The Negovanka takes its source from a spring at an altitude of 520 m some 1.8 km southeast of the village of Idilevo in the fore-Balkan. The karst spring northwest of Novo Selo is also an important source of water. The river flows north in a deep valley and close to the village of Emen forms the Emen Canyon in Aptian limestones from the Early Cretaceous, which has been declared a natural monument. Downstream of the canyon the Negovanka turns northeast, its valley widens and the river eventually flows into the Rositsa at an altitude of 67 m. Its drainage basin covers a territory of 173 km2.
