The Trnava (full name Trnava Murska ) is an approximately 46.9 km long river in the Međimurje County in northern Croatia . It is a right and western tributary of the Mur , the last major tributary before it flows into the Drava .
The source of the Trnava is located not far from the village of Vukanovec in the Gornji Mihaljevec municipality in the hilly north-western part of the county. After a few kilometers, it continues to flow in an easterly direction through the western edge of the Pannonian Plain , crosses a couple of municipalities or villages ( Macinec , Nedelišće , Pribislavec , Štefanec, Mala Subotica , Palovec , Držimurec , Domašinec , Donji Kraljevec , Turčišće ) and the City of Čakovec and finally flows into the Mur at Goričan at an altitude of 140 m .
On its course it takes in many streams (mostly left tributaries), including Dragoslavec, Goričica, Pleškovec, Knezovec, Hrebec, Brezje, Boščak, Murščak, Korenatica, Kopenec and Sratka. Some of them, as well as the Trnava itself, are partially regulated or canalized , and thus, together with several flood retention basins , flood protection is achieved.
The Trnava catchment area covers about 250 km², which is about 34% of the total area of the county. The river is not navigable.
