Vltava
The Vltava (; ; (ドイツ語:Moldau), ) is the longest river within the Czech Republic, running southeast along the Bohemian Forest and then north across Bohemia, through Český Krumlov, České Budějovice and Prague, and finally merging with the Elbe at Mělník. It is commonly referred to as the Czech national river.

The Vltava river is long and drains an area about in size, over half of Bohemia and about a third of the Czech Republic's entire territory. As it runs through Prague, the river is crossed by 18 bridges (including the famous Charles Bridge, shown below) and covers within the city.〔(Source : Avantgarde Prague )〕 The water from the river was used for drinking until 1912, when the Vinohrady Water Tower ceased pumping operations.〔(Water Tower of Vinohrady ), stovezata.praha.eu, retrieved 14 November 2013〕
Several dams were built on it in the 1950s. The Orlík Dam supports the largest reservoir on the Vltava by volume, while the Lipno Dam in the Bohemian Forest () retains the largest reservoir by area. North of Prague the Štěchovice Reservoir has been built over the site of the St John's Rapids. The river also features numerous locks and weirs that help mitigate its flow from in elevation at its source near the German border to at its mouth in Mělník.
The height difference from source to mouth is about and the largest stream at the source is named Černý Potok (Black Brook). The Vltava itself originates by a confluence of two streams, the Warm Vltava (''Teplá Vltava''), which is longer, and the Cold Vltava (''Studená Vltava''), sourcing in Bavaria. Along its course, Vltava receives many tributaries, the biggest being Otava and Berounka from the left and Lužnice and Sázava from the right side. Its section around Český Krumlov (specifically from Vyšší Brod to Boršov nad Vltavou) is a very popular destination of water tourism.
