Adige (Italian; Etsch in German) is a river with its source in the region of South Tyrol, Italy. At 410 km in length it is the second longest river in Italy, after the Po.
The river flows out of the Alpine lake Resia (German: Reschen), close to the borders with Austria and Switzerland, and runs through the Venosta, Adige and Lagarina valleys and through the Po plain to the Adriatic sea. It crosses South Tyrol, Trentino and Veneto, past the cities of Bolzano-Bozen, Trento, Verona and the towns of Meran-Merano, Rovereto and Adria. It is subject to sudden swellings and overflowings.
It is met by the Passirio river in Merano, by the Eisack-Isarco south of Bozen-Bolzano and by the Noce, Avisio and Fersina rivers around Trento. It is also connected through artificial underground canals to the Lake of Garda for flood prevention.
