CONFLUENCE - Vltava-Elbe, CZ - River Origins, Destinations and Confluences on Waymarking.com

The Elbe and Vltava are the two largest rivers in The Czech Republic. At the same time, they are the most important water routes for big sail.

The River Vltava
With its length of 433 km, it is the longest river in The Czech Republic. It has its source in Šumava, runs through e. g. Ceský Krumlov, Ceské Budejovice and Prague, and it empties on the left into the Elbe in Melník. The drainage area of The Vltava with its affluents of Malše, Otava, Lužnice, Sázava and Berounka occupies the south part of Bohemia together with The Elbe, whose tributary is Vltava, and it creates a system which drains almost the whole of Bohemia.

The River Elbe
It is one of the longest rivers in Europe. It has its source in The Giant Mountains in the north of Bohemia, runs through Germany and empties by estuary into The North Sea. It is almost the only Czech river whose gender is not feminine (in The German language, however, it is feminine). It is 1154 km long (in Bohemia 358,3).
At its confluence with The Vltava, it has a smaller flow and it is shorter from its source, but The Elbe is not considered the tributary of The Vltava.
