The Bača (in Slovenian pronounced as /ˈbaːtʃa/) is a river in northwestern Slovenia with a length of 22km (14miles).[1] It runs from Bača pri Podbrdu to Bača pri Modreju, where it joins the Idrijca River as its last right tributary. It has a pluvio-nival regime and belongs to the Adriatic Sea Basin.[2]

The Bača River is the basis of the name of the area it flows through, known as the Bača Gorge (Slovenian: Baška grapa) or Bača Valley (Slovenian: Baška dolina).[3]
