Its river basin takes 265 km², the length of navigable section makes 26 kms. The river, especially in its upper part, has quite remarkable slope and narrow stony and bouldery river bed. Its slope is getting lower consequently, and river bed getting wider. So, from the mouth of Trlenská small river, there is necessary to descend Revúca-river just at moderately higher water level.
