The Jihlava ( German hedgehog ) is a river in the Czech Republic , after which the city of Jihlava (Iglau) was named.
geography
The Jihlava rises on the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands west of Jihlávka (Klein-Iglau) , a few meters below the main European watershed . The stretch of river runs to the town of Jihlava in a predominantly northeastern direction and turns to the southeast from Jihlava. After 184 kilometers the Jihlava flows into the Svratka (Schwarzach) at Ivaň (Eibis) , only a few meters from the confluence of the Svratka into the Thaya reservoir of Nové Mlýny (Neumühl) .
The original name Igel possibly comes from the German word Igel after the sharp stones in the river bed, which are reminiscent of hedgehog spines. It is more likely, however, that the name is derived from the Celtic (gael) uig ("Bach").
The most important tributaries are the Oslava (Oslau) at Ivančice (Eibenschütz) on the left bank and the Jihlávka (Small Hedgehogs) in Jihlava and the Rokytná (Rokitna) in Ivančice on the right .
