Drava, Alpine river in South Tyrol and Carinthia, Austria and Italy
The Drava River extends 710 kilometers from its source near Dobbiaco, Italy, through Austria's Tirol and Kärnten regions toward the Danube River.
The river valley provided a passage for eastern populations, including Huns and Slavs, who entered Alpine territories during different migration periods.
Multiple settlements developed along the Drava's banks, including Lienz and Villach in Austria, forming communities connected by the river's resources.
Twenty-two hydroelectric power stations operate along the Drava River, generating electricity for communities in Austria and neighboring countries.
The river maintains different flow rates throughout the year, with peak volumes occurring in July due to glacial melting and November from autumn rainfall.
