Sažetak
The village Donja Dubrava is one of the villages along the river Drava which has developed the connection of its inhabitants to the river through centuries-long experience. From the 18th to the 20th century, the inhabitants of Donja Dubrava were for the most part existentially connected to the river. In the paper, the author tried to reconstruct the mutual relationship between a village in Međimurje (Donja Dubrava) and the river Drava, by analyzing floods and their battle against them, the illnesses related to the river (goitre), forests and economic activities related to the river – goldsmith trade, shipping, barges, milling, etc. In the paper, the author approached the subject from the point of view of environmental history and economic history.
