The Golyama Kamchiya River originates from Lisa Mountain, 760 m above sea level, about 7 km west of Bratan village, Kotel municipality. Near the village of Ticha, it flows in an easterly direction in a narrow and deep valley overgrown with deciduous forests. Then it turns to the northeast, its valley widens and flows through the historical-geographical region of Gerlovo. Near the village of Golyamo Tsarkvishte, Omurtag municipality, it turns east again, enters the Shumen region and its waters flow into the large `Ticha` dam. After its outflow from the dam wall, its direction again becomes northeast and forms a picturesque gorge between the Preslavska Planina in the northwest and the Dragoevska Planina in the southeast.
