Timavo

The Timavo River, known in Slovene as the Timava or Timav, is a two-kilometre stream in the Province of Trieste.

From modelling results, the Timavo is believed to receive one third of its flow from the Reka and two-thirds of its flow from infiltration of precipitation into the Karst Plateau, and to a lesser extent from the other sinking river sources.

An Italian passenger liner called the Timavo ran aground during the Second World War on the east coast of South Africa near Cape Vidal.

The engine of the wreck is still visible from the beach, now situated within the Isimangaliso Wetland Park.

In his 2019 work Underland, British author Robert Macfarlane tracks the source of the Timavo and discusses the history of its exploration.
