Topolog (Olt)

The Topolog is a left tributary of the river Olt in Romania.[1][2][3] It discharges into the Olt in Galicea. It is formed by two source rivers that come from the southern slopes of the Făgăraș Mountains: Negoiu and Scara. It flows through the communes Sălătrucu, Șuici, Cepari, Tigveni, Ciofrângeni, Poienarii de Argeș, Milcoiu, Nicolae Bălcescu and Galicea. Including its longest source river, Negoiu, its total length is 111.5 km (69.3 mi) and its basin size is 546.3 km2 (210.9 sq mi).[2][4] For much of its length it forms the border between the counties Argeș and Vâlcea.
