It is 133 kilometres (83 mi) long and its basin covers an area of 966 square kilometres (373 sq mi).[1] The Bednja rises in the mountainous forested areas near Macelj in northern Croatia, west of Trakošćan, where it also forms a 0.2 km2 (0.077 sq mi) lake at 255 m.a.s.l..[1] It flows towards the southeast until turning east near Bednja, meandering south at Novi Marof, returning to its eastward course shortly thereafter, and then turning northeast toward Ludbreg.
