Carinthia Mount Rinka ({{langx|sl|Koroška Rinka}}) or the Cross ({{lang|sl|Križ}}), with an elevation of {{convert|2433|m}}, is a mountain in the central Kamnik–Savinja Alps in northern Slovenia. It is connected via a pass with Carniola Mount Rinka (Kranjska Rinka, {{convert|2453|m|disp=or|abbr=on}}), the northern ridge descends to the Jezersko Pass and the Savinja Pass, whereas the western ridge with Styria Mount Rinka (Štajerska Rinka, {{convert|2374|m|disp=or|abbr=on}}) ends with the Turski Žleb Ravine. There is also the fourth Rinka, called Little Mount Rinka ({{lang|sl|Mala Rinka}}; {{convert|2289|m|abbr=on|disp=or}}). The names of the mountains reflect their positions at the border between the traditional Slovene regions of Carinthia, Carniola, and Styria.
