Angrapa (Russian: Анграпа, Polish: Węgorapa, German: Angerapp, Lithuanian: Angrapė) is a river in northeastern Poland and Russia (Kaliningrad Oblast). It originates in Lake Mamry and after 140,[1] 169,[2] or 172 km[3] joins the 101 km long Instruch near Chernyakhovsk to form the Pregolya. The largest tributaries are the Gołdapa (89 km), which joins just before the border, and Pissa (98 km).
Angrapa's name is derived from the Old Prussian words anguris (eel) and apis (river). The towns of Węgorzewo (German Angerburg), Ozyorsk (Darkehmen) and Chernyakhovsk (Insterburg) as well as the village of Mayakovskoye (Nemmersdorf) lie on the Angrapa.
