The river begins in the mountain of Skopska Crna Gora, in North Macedonia and then flows north right away in Kosovo to continue near Kabash and through Viti. The river then turns into a north-eastern direction passing near several villages in Kosovo before turning in a south-east near Kormjan i Poshtëm village. Nearby the river then enters Serbia near Konçul. The river joins the South Morava just south of Bujanoc.

Streams of Ključevska reka and Slatinska reka join together to form the river Golema, which is, after passing the Macedonian-Serbian border, known as Binačka Morava.
