River OHŘE
Length 316 km, basin5614 km², average discharge 37,94 m³/s.
Ohře (in German Eger, sometimes also Ohara, Oharka) is a river in the northwest
of the Czech Republic which has its sources in Germany. Both the name Ohře
and Ohara were probably derived from its Celtic name Agara (Ag means a salmon,
Ara means flowing water). This also correspondents with its German name Eger.
Another theory is based on its original Celtic or pre-Celtic name where the river‘s
reads as swiftness. The river is used for watering and for generating water energy.
On its stream there are two dams: Skalka (the total size of 378 ha) and Nechranice
(with the total size of 1338 ha). The following towns belong to the most important
places on this river: Cheb,
Sokolov, Loket nad Ohří, Karlovy
Vary, Ostrov nad Ohří,
Klášterec nad Ohří, Kadaň,
Žatec, Louny, Libochovice,
Budyně nad Ohří, Terezín
and Litoměřice. The river is a

source of water for a number of industrial areas. With regard to water sport the most sought-after location is the Loket
– Vojkovice stretch which offers a variety of attractive places for tourism and water sports enthusiasts. The down
part of the river Ohře was already formed during the Quaternary period. Originally the river flowed through the valley
in which currently flows the river Bílina. The stream of the river Ohře where it flowed into the Elbe was due to the
building of the Terezín fortress (in 1780) redirected to a new watercourse. In this part, for the first time in the history,
there are going to be 2,5 km of personal water transport resulting in Terezín becoming a harbour town.
Fluss ELBE
Flusslänge 1154 km, Einzugsfläche 144 055 km², Normaldurchfluss
(in der Tschechischen Republik) 308 m³/s.
Die Elbe ist der bedeutenste tschechische Fluss und ein der gröβten
Flüssen und Wasserwegen Europas. Die Elbe entspringt im Riesengebirge
in Nordböhmen, flieβt durch Deutschland und mündet in die Nordsee.
Sie ist fast der einzige tschechische Fluss, dessen tschechischer
Name kein Femininum ist. Auf ihrem Zusammenfluss mit der Moldau
hat die Elbe einen niedrigeren Durchfluss und ist von ihrer Quelle kürzer,
aber trotzdem wird als ihrer Nebenfluss nicht betrachtet. Der Name
dürfte von den Kelten kommen, die das Flussgebiet in der Antikezeit
bewohnten. Das ursprüngliche keltische Wort ‚elb‘ bedeutete „groβer
