Thaya River
Top 10 in Top 10 Longest Rivers In Czech Republic
The Thaya River (Czech: Dyje) is the longest tributary of the Morava river in Central Europe. It has a drainage basin of 12,772 km2 (4,931 sq mi). It is 224 kilometers (139 miles) long (322 kilometers (200 miles) with its longest source river, the German Thaya) and meanders from west to east in the border area between Lower Austria (Austria) and South Moravia (Czech Republic), though the border does not exactly follow the river's course in most places. It is fed by two smaller rivers, the German Thaya (Deutsche Thaya) and the Moravian Thaya (Czech: Moravská Dyje, German: Mährische Thaya), which combine at Raabs.
On the Czech side of the river, the Narodni Park Podyji is rich with stone boulders and lakes with a unique geomorphology. This area is home to a wide range of plants and animals. It is one of the most untouched and well-preserved river valleys in the Czech Republic. If you want to relax in the midst of nature, here is the place to be.
