The 883rd longest river in the world

km

The Dragor (Macedonian) is a small river situated in the south of North Macedonia. Stretching 25 km (16 mi), it flows mainly through the city of Bitola before joining the Crna river. Its catchment area encompasses about 37.2 square kilometres with four main tributaries originating on the eastern slopes of Baba Mountain within Pelister National Park. The river shows significant seasonal flow variations, with peak discharges during April and May, moderate flows between November and March, and lowest levels from July to October. Classified as having third-class water quality due to elevated copper levels from urban runoff and industrial waste, the Dragor holds cultural importance in Bitola, where it has inspired numerous local idioms reflecting its historical relationship with the community.

Flows through: North Macedonia.
