Rába

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rába (German: Raab; Hungarian: Rába; Slovene: Raba) is a river in southeastern Austria and western Hungary and a tributary of the Danube. Its source is in Austria, some kilometres east of Bruck an der Mur. It flows through the Austrian states of Styria and Burgenland, and the Hungarian counties of Vas and Győr-Moson-Sopron. It flows into a tributary of the Danube (Mosoni-Duna) in northwestern Hungary, in the city of Győr. Towns along the Rába include Gleisdorf, Feldbach (both in Austria), and Szentgotthárd and Körmend (in Hungary).

The northernmost ethnic group of approximately 3,000 Hungarian Slovenes who live in Raba region are called the Raba Slovenes due to their proximity to the river.
