March (Slav. Morava), the principal river of Moravia, rises on the boundary between that country and Prussian Silesia, and flows 214 miles south to the Danube, which it joins 6 miles above Presburg. It receives on the right the Thaya. In its lower course it forms the boundary between Austria and Hungary. It is navigable for small boats from Göding, 50 miles from its mouth.
