The Bodrog (formerly also Bodrok in Slovak ) is one of the three main rivers in eastern Slovakia and northeastern Hungary and a tributary of the Tisza .
It drains the central part of the Eastern Slovakia lowlands south towards Hungary and the Tisza. It arises from the union of the Latorica (left) with the Ondava (right) coming from the Košice area and from there (near the Slovak-Hungarian border) has a length of over 100 km. Because of the numerous meanders that are typical for most of the lowlands , the course of the river seems shorter - because only 40 km beyond the Hungarian border it flows into the Tisza at Tokaj . The Bodrog and all its tributaries account for almost a tenth of its huge catchment area , which, at 158,200 km², is almost double the area of Hungary.
In contrast, the Hornád , the Slovakian river on the western edge of the lowlands, has a completely different character, as it is flanked by mountains and hilly terrain (see also Sajó ). Where it pours its waters into the Tisza - not far from Miskolc - the transition from the Great Hungarian Tiefenene to its continuation in eastern Slovakia can be set morphologically .
