The Vltava (/ ˈ v ʊ l t ə v ə, ˈ v ʌ l-/ VU(U)L-tə-və, [1] [2] [3] Czech: ⓘ; German: Moldau ⓘ) is the longest river in the Czech Republic, a left tributary of the Elbe River. It runs southeast along the Bohemian Forest and then north across Bohemia, through Český Krumlov, České Budějovice, and Prague.
As the only means of crossing the river Vltava until 1841, Charles Bridge was the most important connection between Prague Castle and the city's Old Town and adjacent areas. This land connection made Prague important as a trade route between Eastern and Western Europe. The bridge is 516 metres (1,693 ft) long and nearly 10 metres (33 ft) wide.
