Water stages


River description:

Rolava river is navigable within snow thaw in spring or after heavy rains. The upper section (near to Nejdek) is navigable really exceptionally at very high water level. The passage through town of Nejdek is problematic, owing to high stages in embanked river-bed. After Nejdek it is better, it is sufficient less water, howere, we have to calculate with a fact that on cascades the bottoms of our boats will be frayed out. Anyway, from Nová Role this small river is better for navigation. The water register in Stará Role is not decisive. The navigation on upper flow is difficult and suitable for experienced watermen only. The section from Nová Role is, however, less interesting and less difficult.

The river sources in peat-bogs of Ore Mountains near to the border with Germany, near to community of Rolava in an altitude of 918 m. The river flows in southern direction to Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad), where it mouths to Ohře river. Its river-basin makes 137 km².

 In its upper section, the river flows through deep afforested valley, where the water is flowing across many cascades through bouldery river-bed. Near to Nová Role, the valley becomes wider, the slope is getting lower, however, the navigation make more difficult unpleasant stages , the same we meet in Nejdek.
