The Chrudimka, also known as Kamenice or Ohebka in ancient scripts , rises in the north of the Saar mountains . Its main source is 700 m at the northern foot of the U Oběšeného hill (737 m) between Svratouch , Filipov, Paseky and Chlumětín . A second spring is located between Filipov, Ovčín and Dědová . After the union of the two source streams, the Chrudimka flows through Kameničky on its way west and is dammed in the Hamry dam between Hamry and Studnice . The Chrudimka then flows through Hlinsko and crosses the Iron Mountains in numerous river loops to the northwest. The towns of Vítanov , Vysočina , Trhová Kamenice , Horní Bradlo and Klokočov are located on the river . After that, the river meanders through the mountains in narrow valleys. At Seč it is dammed in the Seč I and II dams . The river runs through Bojanov and Křižanovice first to the east and turns north at Nasavrky , where it flows from the Iron Mountains via Svídnice and Lukavice near Slatiňany into the Chrudimská tabule. The further course of the Chrudimka leads via Chrudim , Vestec , Tuněchody , Úhřetice , Úhřetická Lhota to Hostovice, where it turns to the west and finally flows again in a northerly direction through the town of Pardubice , where after 104.4 km it flows at 216 m. ü.
