This article is about the River Hron. For the Rector of Prag-Suchdol see Jan Hron
'Hron' (; ) is a 298 km long left tributary of the Danube and the second longest river in Slovakia. It flows from its source located in the Low Tatra mountains (under Kráľova hoľa) through central and southern Slovakia, pouring into the Danube near Å túrovo and Esztergom. Major cities and towns situated on the Hron are Brezno, Banská Bystrica, SliaÄ, Zvolen, Žiar nad Hronom, Žarnovica, Nová Baňa, TlmaÄe, Levice, Želiezovce, and Å túrovo.
The river's basin covers approximately 11% of Slovakia's territory.
The name of the river was mentioned for the first time in 170, when Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius wrote his ''Meditations'' at the Hron (Latin: ''Granus'') river. From the 17th century until the 1930s, the river was used for wood transport.
