Odra (Kupa)

Odra in Sisak

The Odra is a river in central Croatia. Its length is 83 km, its catchment area covers 604 km ². The source is located in the Žumberak Mountains southwest of Zagreb. The flow is directed eastward, passed in the wake of the Save- Odra- Sava Canal to the south-western district of Zagreb Brezovica and the south of the city of Velika Gorica, then turns southeast and flows substantially parallel to Save. On the north- western outskirts of the city of Sisak, the Odra flows into the river Kupa, a few kilometers before the river flows into the Sava.

The upper reaches of the Odra was considerably straightened, as of the 32 km long Sava - Odra - Sava canal was built as a flood channel of the Sava south of Zagreb.
