Latorica River

Latorica River (Hungarian: Latorca; Slovak: Latorica; Ukrainian: атоpи, translit.: Latorytsia) is a river in the Danube's watershed. Its source is near the town of Latirka in the Ukrainian Carpathians (Eastern Carpathian Mountains). It runs 188 kilometers west from Ukraine (156.6 kilometers) to Slovakia (31.4 kilometers), passing through the cities of Svaliava, Mukacheve, Solomonovo, Chop, and Velke Kapusany.

It has a basin area of 7,740 km2 (2,990 sq mi). The Latorica River, which is a tributary of the Tisza, is formed by its confluence with the Ondava in Zempln. Since 1993, a portion of its watershed (Latorica Protected Landscape Area, "Ramsar site No. 606," 44.05 km2) has been included to the Ramsar list of internationally significant wetlands.

In addition, next to the river is the Latorica Protected Landscape Area. The park encompasses the Slovak portion of the Latorica River, as well as the lower reaches of the Ondava and Laborec rivers. The landscape region is made up of a network of riverbeds and arms, which are flanked by alluvial woodland and marshes. The PLA's most notable feature is the uncommon water and swamp biocenose, which is found nowhere else in Slovakia. This is one of the longest Rivers in Slovakia.
