The Mūša ( Latvian Mūsa ) is a river in Lithuania and Latvia .
It rises in the Mūšos tyrelis bog of the same name near Žagarė in the northern Lithuanian district of Joniškis and forms the border between Lithuania and Latvia over a length of six kilometers. After a further 18 km, it joins the Mēmele (Lithuanian: Nemunėlis ) at Bauska , which also rises in Lithuania. From here on the river is called Lielupe , “large river”. The banks of the calmly flowing river are overgrown with reeds in many places . The valley becomes a little deeper near the mouth.
Tributaries are Vilkvedis (LT), Voverkis (LT), Kulpė (LT), Kruoja (LT), Daugyvenė (LT), Mažupė (LT), Lėvuo (LT), Pyvesa (LT), Viekšmuo (LT), Tatula (LT ) and Ceraukste (LV).
