The Kupa (Croatian and Serbian pronunciation: {{IPA-sh|kûpa|}}) or Kolpa ({{IPA-sl|ˈkóːlpa}} or {{IPA-sl|ˈkóːwpa|}}; from {{lang-la|Colapis}} in Roman times) river, a right tributary of the Sava, forms a natural border between north-west Croatia and southeast Slovenia. It is {{convert|297|km|abbr=off}} long,{{GeoQuelle|Sava||13}} with its border part having a length of {{convert|118|km|abbr=on}}{{GeoQuelle|SI|SURS}} and the rest located in Croatia.{{GeoQuelle|SI|MOP}}

The name "Colapis" is supposed to come from Proto-Indo-European words *kwol and *h2ep, so that it means "water with meanders".[2]{{unreliable source|date=August 2017}}

Course

The Kupa originates in Croatia in the mountainous region of Gorski Kotar, northeast of Rijeka, in the area of Risnjak National Park. It flows a few kilometers eastwards, receives the small Čabranka River from the left, before reaching the Slovenian border.

It then continues eastwards between the White Carniola region in the north and Central Croatia in the south. The Kupa receives influx from the river Lahinja from the left in Primostek, passes Vrbovsko, and eventually detaches from the Slovenian border having passed Metlika.

It then reaches the city of Karlovac, where it receives influx from two other rivers from the right, Dobra and Korana (which in turn is joined by Mrežnica). The Kupa continues flowing to the east, where it merges with Glina from the right as well as Odra from the left, it then passes through two small towns called Šišinec and Brkiševina, and then proceeds to the town of Sisak where it flows into the Sava River.

Pollution

Fairly unpolluted downstream to Karlovac, the upper Kupa is a popular place for bathing in summer. The section from Stari Trg down to Fučkovci since 2006 is part of the Slovenian Krajinski park Kolpa nature reserve.

The hydrological parameters of the Kupa are regularly monitored at Radenci, Kamanje, Karlovac and Jamnička Kiselica.[3]
