The Svatava (German: Zwodau or Zwotau) is a 41-kilometer-long river that flows partly along the German-Czech border. It rises about three kilometers south of the Saxon town of Schöneck at an elevation of 715 meters. It flows through the town of Kraslice, then on to the village of Hřebeny, deep below the ruins of Hartenberg Castle, and further to Sokolov, where it flows into the Ohře (Eger) River at an elevation of 388 meters.
