Rivers and brooks
River Elbe
The River Elbe is the main watercourse in the region. At Porta Bohemica, it breaks through the Bohemian Uplands, where it has formed a valley going as deep as 300-500 m below the original terrain surface. The stream is dammed by sluices beneath the Střekov Castle and along its flow the banks have been technically adapted. In some parts, the banks are similar to the original natural environment these days (the right river bank from Olešnice downstream as far as the left bank in Povrly).
