The Bodrog (Slovak formerly Bodrok ) is one of the three main rivers in eastern Slovakia and in Northeast Hungary and a tributary of the Tisza.

It drains the central part of the East Slovak Lowland south towards Hungary and the Tisza. It arises from the union of Latorica (left) with the coming from the area of ​​Košice Ondava (right) and has from there (near the Slovak- Hungarian border ) has a length of over 100 km. Because of the numerous meanders, which are typical of most lowland plains, the river course but seem shorter - only 40 km beyond the Hungarian border, it flows into the Tisza at Tokaj. From its huge catchment area that corresponds with almost 158,200 km ² of two times the area of Hungary, which accounts for Bodrog including all its tributaries almost a tenth.

In contrast, the Hornád, the Slovak electricity on the western edge of the lowlands, a completely different character, as he is flanked by mountains and hills (see also Sajó ). Where it empties its waters into the Tisza - far from Miskolc - can be applied in their eastern Slovak continuation of morphological transition from the Great Hungarian Tiefenene.
