The Raba (Slovenian Rába ) is an approximately 9 kilometer long stream in Lower Carinthia .

course

It rises in a by Dränungs converted -measures to farmland lowland fen in the market town of Maria Hall near the village of Winklern and flows initially as a trickle south through the gentle valley between Maria Saal Berg and the sixties mountain , then clips the village of God Bichl , draws then past the ponds east of the runway at Klagenfurt Airport , the direction of flow gradually changes towards the southeast and drains the plain east of Klagenfurt by running through fields, floodplains, corridors, meadows and small forest areas.

The stream then runs between the villages of Gutendorf and Hörtendorf . In the northeast of Limmersdorf the Raba runs through fertile farmland. The small river soon reaches the Niederdorf district of Ebenthal and flows into the Gurk to the south near the railway bridge .

History

The meadow master builder Josef Eckert was entrusted with the planning and implementation of the Raba regulation as well as the reclamation of wet meadows, moors, mosses and swamps in the catchment area of ​​this small river. These measures, important for better agricultural land use, were implemented from the end of the 19th century. Today the Zell-Winklern drainage cooperative represents the interests of those farmers in the headwaters whose land is drained into the Raba.
