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 ''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, the '''Murščak''' is located between [[Domašinec]] and [[Donji Hrašćan]], (''hrast'' is ''oak tree'' in [[Croatian language]]). Since the 4th ceentury [[BC]], there were reports on floating mills powered by the rivers stream. The ancient [[know-how]] was later accepted by arriving [[Slavs]], than by [[Ugars]] Several decades ago, many of them were stil operating along the river. The last one, in [[Mursko Sredisce]] was operating in the 1970es.
It ends near [[Legrad]] in the [[Podravina]] region of [[Croatia]], where it flows into the Drava river. It is known to carry small quantities of [[gold]], not enough to be suitable for exploitation today was the activity of local people since ancient times but acknowledged and encouraged to be exploit in [[1772]].
