Trubínsky potok (also incorrectly Sulinský potok or Trnavský potok)[1] is a stream in Central Pohronie part of the Hron basin. The stream is located entirely within the Žiar nad Hronom District. Trubínsky potok is a left-hand side tributary of Zákruty with a length of just under 5.8 kilometers. It is a watercourse of the 5th order.
Etymology
[edit]Trubínsky potok was named after the settlement of Trubín, with the addition of -sky suffix and the potok appelative. [1] The naming was settled in 1976.
Flow
[edit]Trubínsky potok is sourced on lower eastern slopes of Sulina of the Vtáčnik Mountains, in the Lower Vtáčnik sub-range, at an altitude of just under 520 meters, over 350 meters beneath the summit. Briefly, it flows in a south-eastern direction, enters the fields of Žiar Basin at an altitude of about 480 meters, before shifting to a north-eastern flow. After a brief segment it turns to a lasting south-eastern and southern flow, which it maintains up to the mouth point. During the flow, it passes through the only settlement on its course - Lovčica-Trubín, after which's borough of Trubín the stream is named. South of Trubín, the stream creates an artificial reservoir, along with a tributary from southern slopes of Kameň hill (430 meters), which is by some sources identified as Trstenský potok, while other cartologic and geodetic registries omit the naming altogether.[2][1] Further south, at an altitude of 274.6 meters, the stream flows into Zákruty.[3]
