Alps
The Alps () are some of the highest and most extensive mountain ranges in Europe, stretching approximately across eight Alpine countries (from west to east): Monaco, France, Switzerland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Germany, Austria and Slovenia.

List Of Rivers Of Austria
This is a list of rivers (or tributaries thereof) at least partially located in Austria. Nearly all of Austria is drained by the Danube into the Black Sea; the rest flow into the North Sea. Rivers are listed twice, first by basin, then alphabetically. Within basins, rivers that flow into the sea are listed alphabetically. Rivers that flow into other rivers are sorted by the proximity of their points of confluence to the sea (the lower in the list, the more upstream). Rivers which themselves do not flow through Austria, but have tributaries that do so (e.g. Vltava) are listed in ''italics''. The Austrian namens are given in brackets, (e.g. Rhine (Rhein)). By basin Draining into the Black Sea *Danube (Donau) (in Sulina, Romania) **Drava (Drau) (near Osijek, Croatia) *** Mur (near Legrad, Croatia) **** Ledava (near Muraszemenye, Hungary) **** Sulm (south of Leibnitz, between Retznei and Obervogau) **** Kainach (in Wildon) ****Mürz (in Bruck an der Mur) *** Pesnica (Pößnitz) ...

Rivers Of Bavaria
A river is a natural stream of fresh water that flows on land or inside Subterranean river, caves towards another body of water at a lower elevation, such as an ocean, lake, or another river. A river may run dry before reaching the end of its course if it runs out of water, or only flow during certain seasons. Rivers are regulated by the water cycle, the processes by which water moves around the Earth. Water first enters rivers through precipitation, whether from rainfall, the Runoff (hydrology), runoff of water down a slope, the melting of glaciers or snow, or seepage from aquifers beneath the surface of the Earth. Rivers flow in channeled watercourses and merge in confluences to form drainage basins, or catchments, areas where surface water eventually flows to a common outlet. Rivers have a great effect on the landscape around them. They may regularly overflow their Bank (geography), banks and flood the surrounding area, spreading nutrients to the surrounding area.
