Rába
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rába (German: Raab; Hungarian: Rába; Slovenian: 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 5,000 to 6,000 Slovenians who live in Hungary are called the Raba Slovenians due to their proximity to the river. Most of them live in Szentgotthárd (Monošter in Slovenian) and villages south of the town.
