Eura River

The Eura River (Finnish: Eurajoki, Swedish: Eura) is a river in the Satakunta area of south-western Finland. Its source is Lake Pyhäjärvi, and it travels through Eura and Eurajoki municipalities before emptying into the Bothnian Sea. The Eura is 53 kilometers long in total (33 mi). It includes eleven rapids and three small hydroelectric power units with a 0.1–0.5 MW installed capacity.

The Köyliö, which begins at Lake Köyliö and runs for 23 kilometers, is the longest tributary of Eura River. Since the Viking Age, the Eura has been an important river linking the agricultural hinterland to the Baltic Sea. Eura had the largest and most notable Bronze and Iron Age communities in Finland.

The river is the outlet of Lake Pyhajarvi, which is 44.9 meters high. He runs northerly and goes through the towns of Eura and Kiukainen after leaving it on its northern shore. At the mouth of the right tributary Köyliönjoki, the Eurajoki bends west. The river flows past the same little village of Eurajoki and into the Gulf of Bothnia a few kilometers west of the bay of Eurajoensalmi. The river Eurajoki is 52 kilometers long and drains a 1336-square-kilometer region.
