TheAngrapa (Russian:Анграпа,Polish:Węgorapa,German:Angerapp,Lithuanian:Angrapė) is a river that begins in northeasternPoland and ends in theKaliningrad Oblast ofRussia. Originating inLake Mamry, it joins the 101-km-longInstruch at a point nearChernyakhovsk – variously assessed as lying 140,[1] 169,[2] or 172 km[3] from its source – to form thePregolya. Its largest tributaries are the 89-km-longGołdapa, which joins just before the border, and thePissa (98 km).
