Which 965 km river is a Danube tributary that enters near Titel, Serbia? The answer is the Tisza.
The Tisza is a major Central and Eastern European river and the longest tributary of the Danube. It is about 965 km long and joins the Danube in Serbia near the Titel area, downstream of Novi Sad. The river’s basin spans Ukraine, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary, and Serbia.
The Tisza begins near Rakhiv in Ukraine, where the White Tisza and Black Tisza meet in the Carpathians. It then travels through or along several national borders before crossing Hungary from north to south and entering Serbia. Important cities along its course include Tokaj, Szolnok, and Szeged.
A frequent mix-up is the Sava, another major Danube tributary. The Sava is longer by some measurements of its full system, but the Tisza is the tributary identified with the 965 km figure and the Titel-area confluence in the cited list. Its flood history also led to extensive nineteenth-century river regulation.
