The Elbe is 1094 km long, making it one of the longest rivers in Europe. It rises in the Czech Republic, then flows through several German federal states and flows into the North Sea near Cuxhaven.

The source of the Elbe is in the Giant Mountains at an altitude of 1386 meters. After only one kilometer it forms a 40 meter high waterfall, the Elbfall. In the Czech Republic it is called Labe.
