Gurk

The Gurk ; Slovene: Krka) is a river in the Austrian state of Carinthia, a left tributary of the Drava. With a length of 156 km it is the longest river running entirely within Carinthia. Its drainage basin is 2,585.1 km2 , which covers about 27% of the state's territory. The Gurk rises in the Nock Mountains range of the Central Eastern Alps, near the border with the Austrian state of Styria. Its sources are two small cirque lakes, the Gurksee and the Torersee near Albeck and the Turracher Höhe Pass, a protected area since 1981. The Gurksee has an elevation of 1,970 m , an area of 4,000 m2 , and is 1.5 m deep; the Torersee lies 2,010 m above sea level, has an area of 3,500 m2 , and is 1.2 m deep. Since both lake are frozen in the winter, they contain no fish.
