Orava (49°09′N 19°09′E) is the name of a 60.3 km long river in north-western Slovakia passing through a picturesque country. Its source is nowadays the Orava water reservoir whose waters flooded the confluence of Biela (White) Orava and Čierna (Black) Orava in 1953. It flows into the river Váh near the village of Kraľovany.
