:''There is also the river Ohre in northern Germany.'' The Ohře (; German: ''Eger'', Czech also: ''Oharka'' or ''Ohara'', Celtic: ''Agara'', (ポーランド語:Ohrza)) is a 316 km long river in Germany (65 km) and the Czech Republic (251 km), left tributary of the Elbe. The catchment area of the river is 6,255 km², of which 5,614 km² is in the Czech Republic and 641 km² in Germany. It is the third biggest river in the Czech Republic. Several districts in Germany and the Czech Republic have formed an Euroregion initiative named Euregio Egrensis to foster cooperation in the region of Eger/Ohře/Cheb. ==Etymology== There is a Czech pun that the Ohře got its name from the river Teplá (meaning "warm" in Czech) - "ohřát" means "to warm up". However the real origin, which also shows in the German name, is Celtic, from ''Agara'' (the "Salmon River"). The records show the name as ''Agara'', ''Agira'', ''Agra'' in the 9th century, ''Egire'', ''Egra'' or ''Ogra'' in the 11th century and ''Eger'' in 1472.〔Friedrich Umlauft: Geographisches Namenbuch von Österreich-ungarn: Eine Erklärung von Länder-, Völker, Gau-, Fluss und Ortsnamen, A. Hölder, 1886.〕 Another theory states that since in Macedonia there exists a Lake Ohrid, the Slavic people who settled in the Balkans, particularly Macedonia around Lake Ohrid, originated from the area of the river Ohře and thus named the lake in south Macedonia "Ohrid". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ohře」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
