GEOGRAPHY
The Czech landscape is exceedingly varied. Bohemia, to the west, consists of a basin
drained by the Elbe (Czech: Labe) and the Vltava (or Moldau) rivers, surrounded by
mostly low mountains, such as the Krkonose range of the Sudetes. The highest point in
the country, Snzka at 1,602 m (5,256 ft), is located here. Moravia, the eastern part of
the country, is also quite hilly. It is drained mainly by the Morava River, but it also
contains the source of the Oder River (Czech: Odra).
Water from the landlocked Czech Republic flows to three different seas: the North Sea, Baltic
Sea and Black Sea. The Czech Republic also leases the Moldauhafen, a 30,000-square-metre
