The Branná ( German Bord , also Mittelbord ) is a left tributary of the March in the Czech Republic.

geography

The Branná arises near the Polish border on the crest of Reichensteiner and Biel mountains between the Smrk ( 1125  m ) and the Travná hora ( 1120  m ) below the Solná chata from multiple source streams. One of their sources is the Brousek spring. On the upper course up to the confluence of the Klepáčský potok it is also called Černý potok ( Schwarzbach ) and earlier up to the tributary of the Hučava ( Rauschende Bord ) as the upper board . On its course, which initially leads south, it flows through Petříkov and Ostružná . Then it changes direction to the southwest. The following shallow valley is protected as the Niva Branné nature reserve . At Splav, the now narrow and partly rocky valley is crossed by three bunker lines of the Czechoslovak Wall . A museum has been set up in the bunker "Uertri".

On the further leading course of the Branná follow Branná with the ruins of the Kolštejn castle, Františkov, Nové Losiny , Jindřichov , Pleče with the ruins of the fortress Pleče, Pusté Žibřidovice and the station settlement Potůčník . Between Hanušovice and Holba , the Branná flows into the March after 25.7 km.

The Hanušovice – Głuchołazy railway runs between Hanušovice and Ramzová through the valley of the river.
