The Glan flows into the Gurk (in Ebenthal)

The Glan ( f. , Slovenian Glina, Glana, Hłana ) is a river in Lower Carinthia .

course

The Glan rises in the Ossiacher Tauern in the municipality of Techelsberg and initially flows eastwards, grazing Feldkirchen , through low mountain ranges and the Glan Valley , the center of which is the town of Glanegg .

In Sankt Veit an der Glan it turns south in order to flow through the Zollfeld and to touch Klagenfurt . In Ebenthal , it takes in the water of the Wörthersee with the Glanfurt (Sattnitz) brook and flows a few kilometers further into the Gurk, which is twice as rich in water . Its mean discharge shortly before the mouth is 8.75 m³ / s.

Its length from the origin (mouth of the Klammbach) to the mouth of the Gurk is 64.329 km, the catchment area is 826.51 km².

Water quality

In particular, thanks to the chipboard factory Funder Industrie GmbH in Sankt Veit, the lower Glan used to be the most polluted Carinthian river. In the meantime, however, it has been rehabilitated and has a water quality class  II throughout (as of 2005).

In the meantime, the wastewater from the town of Sankt Veit an der Glan is biologically treated together with that from the communities of Glanegg , Liebenfels , Frauenstein and St. Georgen am Längsee in the sewage treatment plant at the eastern end of Glandorf . The treated wastewater is drained into the Glan.

Surname

The name "Glan" comes from the Celtic and means "bright, clear, shiny, flowing"; in addition, Glan or Glanos was the name of a Celtic water god.

With a ford of the Glan, a "Glanfurt", an attempt was made to explain the name of the city of Klagenfurt. Today it is believed that the city name comes from slow. Cviljovec , which means something like "place on (or in) the water". 

Also in no way related to the name of the Glan is the Wörthersee outflow running several kilometers to the south with the official name Glanfurt , which has been popularly called Sattnitz after the neighboring ridge since the 16th century , while in the writing rooms the old one, derived from the Celtic Name Lanquart (= crooked brook) via Langfart , Langfurt finally became Glanfurt .

Glangasse has been named after the river in Vienna since 1953 .
