34-441: A length of 10 km (6.2 mi) is still discernible on the steep slopes of Mt. Dobratsch north of Arnoldstein . While the upper river course is largely preserved in its natural condition, a habitat for shorebirds like the common sandpiper , the white-throated dipper and the grey wagtail , large parts of the lower Gail have been gradually regulated since the 1870s. In recent times, some sections have been renaturated. Today
51-527: Is believed to derive from the pre-Romance word *gai̯li̯a (from the Indo-European root *gʰoi̯lo- ), meaning 'foaming (water), powerful'. The river is documented as Gila in a 1090 deed. The Slovene name Zilja is also commonly cited because the lower Gail Valley is a traditional settlement area of the Carinthian Slovenes and a language region of the distinct Gail Valley dialect . The river source
68-616: Is for the last station in the country mentioned in the source. The sources of the Drava are located at the drainage divide between the market town of Innichen/San Candido and neighbouring Toblach / Dobbiaco in the west, where the Rienz River rises, a tributary of the Adige / Etsch . At Innichen itself the 16+ km Sextner Bach [ de ] , originating near the Sextener Rotwand , joins
85-823: Is located east of the Kartitsch Saddle and the Puster Valley in the Tyrolean municipality of Obertilliach . It flows from west to east through the Southern Limestone Alps , between the Gailtal Alps in the north and the Carnic Alps in the south. The river reaches the state of Carinthia in Lesachtal and from Kötschach-Mauthen runs down the broader Gail Valley ( German : Gailtal ) with its steep slopes, parallel to
102-462: Is navigable for about 90 kilometres (56 mi) from Čađavica in Croatia to its mouth. The hydrological parameters of Drava are regularly monitored in Croatia at Botovo , Terezino Polje , Donji Miholjac and Osijek. The Drava's mean annual discharge (Q) at Drávaszabolcs ( Hungary , 77.7 rkm). Period from 1995 to 2023. (m /s) (m /s) Currently, there are 22 hydroelectric power plants on
119-638: Is near the market town of Innichen , in the Puster Valley of South Tyrol , Italy . The river flows eastwards through East Tyrol and Carinthia in Austria into the Styria region of Slovenia . It then turns southeast, passing through northern Croatia and, after merging with its main tributary the Mur , forms most of the border between Croatia and Hungary , before it joins the Danube near Osijek , in Croatia. In ancient times
136-502: Is the name of a river in southern Austria , the largest right tributary of the Drava . Its drainage basin is 1,413.9 km (545.9 sq mi). The name Gail developed from Old High German Gîla , in turn from the form *Gīla (which was also the source of the Slovene name Zilja ). It is likely that the name is of substrate origin, predating the Roman presence in the area. The name
153-568: The Dravis or Dravus , is a river in southern Central Europe . With a length of 710 km , or 724 km , if the length of its Sextner Bach source is added, it is the fifth or sixth longest tributary of the Danube , after the Tisza , Sava , Prut , Mureș and likely Siret . The Drava drains an area of about 40,154 square kilometers. Its mean annual discharge is seasonally 500 m³/s to 670 m³/s . Its source
170-966: The Isel (contributes 39 m /s), the Möll (25 m /s), the Lieser [ de ] (22 m /s), the Gurk (30 m /s) and the Lavant (12 m /s) in Austria, and the Mur (166 m /s) near Legrad at the Croatian–Hungarian border. Its main right tributaries (from the south) are the Gail (45 m /s) in Austria, the Meža (12 m /s) and Dravinja (11 m /s) in Slovenia, and the Bednja (? m /s) in Croatia. Mean discharge
187-658: The Rötspitze , the Isel (ca. 64 km) is also longer than the combined Drava and Sextner Bach (ca. 60 km) to that point. The river then flows east into Carinthia at Oberdrauburg . The river separates the Kreuzeck range of the High Tauern in the north and the Gailtal Alps in the south, passes the Sachsenburg narrows and the site of the ancient city of Teurnia , before it reaches

The power plants are listed beginning at the headwaters: The Drava is one of the most exploited rivers in the world in terms of hydropower , with almost 100% of its water potential energy being exploited. As the region of the river is a place of exceptional biodiversity , this raises several ecological concerns, together with other forms of exploitation such as use of river deposits. Gail (river) Gail ( Slovene : Zilja , Italian : Zeglia )
221-643: The borders with Italy and Slovenia . Beyond its confluence with the Slizza ( Gailitz ) tributary in Arnoldstein , the Gail joins the Drava River beneath the western Karawanks mountain range near the village of Maria Gail, part of the city of Villach . Following the 1348 Friuli earthquake , the river's course near Villach was buried by a major landslide, causing extensive flooding. The rockslide region ( Schütt ) along
238-540: The river was known as Dravus or Draus in Latin , and in Greek as Δράος and Δράβος. Medieval attestations of the name include Dravis ( c. AD 670), Drauva (in 799), Drauus (in 811), Trauum (in 1091), and Trah (in 1136). The name is pre-Roman and pre-Celtic, but probably of Indo-European origin, from the root *dreu̯- 'flow'.

272-484: The ~2 km long source creek. The river than flows eastwards and after 8 kilometres crosses into East Tyrol in Austria. At Lienz it flows into the Isel , sourced from the glaciers of the Venediger and Glockner Groups . The Isel (average discharge 39 m³/s) is almost three times larger than the Drava (14 m³/s) where they meet and, starting from the source of its tributary Schwarzach [ de ] under
289-655: Was a river which, according to Herodotus, flowed from the upper country of the Ombricans northward into the Ister (Danube), whence it has been supposed that this river is the same as the Dravus.

Its main left tributaries (from the north) are
