Drava Totally Explained

Everything about Drau totally explained

Drava or Drave (German: Drau, Slovene and Croatian: Drava, Hungarian: Dráva) is a river in southern Central Europe, a tributary of the Danube. It rises in South Tirol in Italy and flows east through East Tirol and Carinthia in Austria, into Slovenia (145 km), and then southeast, passing through Croatia and forming most of the border between Croatia and Hungary, before it joins the Danube near Osijek. It has a length of 749 km (465 mi). The Drava flows through San Candido/Innichen in Italy, Lienz, Spittal an der Drau, Villach, Dieschitz and Ferlach in Austria, Dravograd, Vuzenica, Muta, Ruše, Maribor, Ptuj, and Ormož in Slovenia, Varaždin and Osijek in Croatia, and Barcs in Hungary. The Drava is navigable for about 90 km from Čađavica in Croatia to its outfall.
The main tributaries of the Drava are: the Gail in Austria, the Meža and Dravinja in Slovenia, and the Bednja in Croatia from the left; and the Gurk in Austria, and the Mura (near Legrad) in Croatia from the right.
In the ancient times the river was called Dravus. The name is most likely Celtic or pre-Celtic in origin (see Old European hydronymy).
