Template:Geobox The Drava[1] (German: Drau; Hungarian: Dráva) or Drave[1] is a river in southern Central Europe, a tributary of the Danube. It sources in Italian South Tyrol, at the drainage divide of Toblach (Dobbiaco) in the Puster Valley, flows eastwards through East Tirol and Carinthia in Austria into Slovenia for 142 kilometres (88 mi)[2] and then southeast, passing through Croatia and forming most of the border between Croatia and Hungary, before it joins the Danube near Osijek.

Overview

In the ancient times the river was called Latin: Dravus. The name is most likely of Celtic or Illyrian origin (see Old European hydronymy). The river gave its name to the dravite species of tourmaline.

The Drava and Spöl are the only two rivers that originate in Italy and drain into the Danube drainage basin. It is the longest river that flows in Italy, also it is the fourth largest and longest Danube tributary.[3] The Gail in Austria, the Meža and Dravinja in Slovenia, and the Bednja in Croatia from the right; the Gurk and the Lavant in Austria, and the Mur (near Legrad) in Croatia from the left are its main tributaries.

Course

The Drava flows through Innichen/San Candido in Italy, Lienz, Spittal an der Drau, Villach, and Ferlach in Austria, Dravograd, Vuzenica, Muta, Ruše, Maribor, Ptuj, and Ormož in Slovenia, Varaždin, Donji Miholjac, Valpovo and Osijek in Croatia, and Barcs in Hungary. It is navigable for about 90 kilometres (56 mi) from Čađavica in Croatia to its outfall.[2]

The hydrological parameters of Drava are regularly monitored in Croatia at Botovo, Terezino Polje, Donji Miholjac and Osijek.[4]
