The Hornád (Slovak, in Slovak pronounced as /ˈɦɔrnaːt/) or Hernád (Hungarian, in Hungarian pronounced as /ˈhɛrnaːd/) is a river in eastern Slovakia and north-eastern Hungary.
It is a tributary to the river Slaná (Sajo). The source of the Hornád is the eastern slopes of Kráľova hoľa hill, south of Šuňava.[3]
The river is 286 km long, with 178 km located in Slovakia, and the remaining 108 km in Hungary.[4]
Cities along its course are Spišská Nová Ves and Košice, both in Slovakia. It flows into the river Sajó (Slovak Slaná) southeast of Miskolc.
Along the river are a series of six separate limestone rocky cliffs and steep slopes, which collectively make up the Site of Community Importance 'Hornádske vápence'.[5]
