The Krupa is a 2.5 km (1.6 mi) river in White Carniola (Bela krajina), southeastern Slovenia. Its source is a karst spring in the village of Krupa below a rock wall. The bed has canyon characteristics in some places. At Klošter, the river joins the Lahinja river from the left side. Its drop from the source to the outflow is only 6 meters (20 ft). The average flow capacity is about 1000 liters per second.
The river is protected as a natural monument and has been included in the Natura 2000 ecological network. It is the main feature of the Karst nature trail from Lebica to Krupa (Slovene: Kraška učna pot od Lebice do Krupe). Its source lake is the only habitat of the cave mollusk Congeria kusceri in Slovenia. It is also home to some cave snails and the olm (Proteus anguinus).Relevante Bilder
