The Wulka (German pronunciation: [ˈvʊlka] ) is a river of Burgenland, Austria. Its basin area is 402 km2 (155 sq mi).[1]

The river springs near Forchtenstein and the border to Lower Austria.[2] It flows through Trausdorf an der Wulka[3] and discharges near Donnerskirchen into Lake Neusiedl,[4] in former times a runoff-free lake, but nowadays drained by an artificial channel, the Hanság-főcsatorna, into the Danube.

An article in the Journal of Hydrology stated that "Waste water treatment plants contributed up to 68% of monthly flow of River Wulka into the lake."[5]
