The Danube (Dunav) river has its source in the [[Austrian]] [[national park]] [[Hohe Tauern]] ([[Visoke Ture]]). The source is 1898 [[m]] above [[sea level]]. Its total length is 438 [[km]], 295 km in [[Austria]] and 70 km as the border with both Austria and [[Hungary]].
 
It also passes trough the [[Medimurje]], ([[Madimurska zupanija]]), dividing [[Croaia]] from [[Slovenia]]. In the area of so called ''upper Međimurje"'', in the western part of the region, Mura does flood and change its course rather often moving slowly toward the noth on its left . Here, the biggest forrest along the river is '''Murščak''' located between [[Domašinec]] and [[Donji Hrašćan]], (hrast = oak tree).
 
Since the 4th ceentury [[BC]], there were reports on floating mills powered by the rivers stream. The ancient [[know-how]] was later accepted by [[Slavs]], than by [[Ugars]] upon their arrival. Several decades ago, many of them were operating along the river. The last one, in [[Mursko Sredisce]] was operating in the 1970es.
