The river is located in the region of Slavonia. It rises in the Krndija hills in the Osijek-Baranja County and flows eastwards through lowlands into the Vukovar-Srijem County. It empties into the Danube at the town of Vukovar, which is named for the river.

The ancient name of Pannonian Illyrians for Vuka was Volcos.
