Description
The Vltava is the longest river in the Czech Republic, running north from its source in Ã
 umava through ÃÅeský Krumlov, ÃÅeské BudÃâºjovice, and Prague (Praha), merging with the Elbe (Labe) at MÃâºlnÃÂk. It is 430 km long and drains about 28,090 km2; at their confluence the Vltava actually has more water than the Elbe, but joins the Elbe at a right angle to its flow so that it appears a mere tributary. Several dams were built on it in the 1950s, the biggest being Lipno Dam in Ã
 umava.
