The Angrapa ( Cyrillic Russian Анграпа [anˈgrapa] , German Angerapp , Polish Węgorapa [vɛŋɡɔˈrapa] ) is a river in the Russian Oblast Kaliningrad and in Poland , in historical East Prussia . The name is derived from Prussian angurgis / angurys-ape and means “eel river” in Old Prussian .
It has a length of 169 km, 120 km of which it flows through Russia.
The Angerapp rises in Masuria , leaves the Mauersee at Węgorzewo (Angerburg) , flows through the Osjorsk Rajon (until 1945 about Darkehmen or Angerapp district ) with the city of Osjorsk and forms the Pregel near Tschernjachowsk (Insterburg) together with the Inster . Shortly before the border to Russia, the Goldap flows into the Angerapp. The river used to be known for its abundance of fish. Angerburg used to be one of the largest fish hatcheries in Europe, where vendace in particular was bred.
