The Mur (Slovene, Croatian and Hungarian: Mura) is a tributary of the Drava, which flows through Austria, Slovenia, Croatia and Hungary and in parts of its course also forms the border between these countries.

The river was first documented in 904 as Muora in flumen. The meaning of the name is uncertain. It may derive from the Germanic word *mōra, meaning "swampy land," and originally referred to the surrounding area.

Hiking
The Mur rises southeast of the Murtörl (2260 m) in the Schmalzgrube at an altitude of about 2050 m above sea level in the Ankogel group (in the Hohe Tauern National Park) in the Salzburg Lungau and drains this part of Salzburg at the beginning of the Mur-Mürz furrow as the upper Mur valley and the only body of water to the east, among other places through the Aichfeld.
