At 51 km, the Chamb ( Kouba in Czech ) is the longest and most water-rich tributary of the Regen River .
Origin and course
The Chamb rises south of the village Vítovky , five kilometers south of Kdyně (Neugedein) in the Všerubská vrchovina , Czech Republic . From there it flows via Hyršov (Hirschau) 6 km towards the German-Czech border, where it then flows 4 km before it comes to Germany. At the border crossing the Chamb lies at an altitude of 407 m above sea level. On the German side, it flows via Eschlkam , Furth im Wald , where it is dammed in the flood reservoir Furth im Wald during floods , Arnschwang , Nößwartling, Weiding and Kothmaißling to Cham, where it flows into the Altenstadt district at an altitude of 370 m above sea level Rain flows. The Schwandorf – Furth im Wald railway line and the Chambtal cycle path run parallel to the river between Furth im Wald and Cham .
Between 2003 and 2005, the dam for the Drachensee was built at the southern foot of the Dieberg (639 m above sea level).
Data
The Chamb has a catchment area of 276 km². Since the Chamb has a very low gradient and a very low flow speed, its river bed has many strong windings, it "meanders". In 1981 the Regensburg Water Management Office set up so-called hectometer stones every 200 m . The water flow fluctuates very strongly. Since records began in 1951, the lowest runoff has been measured at 0.290 m³ / s in winter. The day with the greatest amount of water (131 m³ / s) was February 23, 1970.
Surname
The name Chamb goes back to the Celtic word Kambos , which is translated as 'crooked' or 'twisted'. In the Czech Republic, the Chamb has the name Kouba : The towns of Cham , Chammünster , Chameregg , Chamerau and Eschlkam take their name from the Chamb. The name of the river is masculine (the Chamb, not the Chamb).
