The Modla (formerly Hostinná , German Model or Morellenbach ) is a left tributary of the Elbe in the Czech Republic .
It rises south of the mountain Pákova hora in the Bohemian Central Mountains at 482 m above sea level. M. Its course leads east past Lhota ( Lhotta ) and Mrsklesy ( Merskles ).
Above Vlastislav ( Watislaw ) it unites with other source streams. North of the village on the Modla is the Chapel of St. John of Nepomuk. Annual Whitsun pilgrimages led to this pilgrimage chapel, which was built near a powerful spring in 1792. Occasionally, this place is also considered the source of the Modla.
The towns of Dřinek ( Trinka ), Teplá ( Töpley ), Třebenice ( Trebnitz ) and Chodovlice ( Chodowlitz ) are located in the wide, fertile Model Valley, which leads to the southeast past the 481 m high Košťál . Via Úpohlavy ( Oppolau ), Želechovice ( Schelchowitz ), Čížkovice ( Tschischkowitz ) and Sulejovice ( Sullowitz ), the Modla then flows northeast to Lukavec ( Lukawetz ). There it changes direction in a river loop to the northwest and flows into Lovosice ( Lobositz ) after 27.2 km into the Elbe.
The river has a catchment area of 93.5 km² and a discharge rate of 0.36 m³ / s.
16 mills were operated along the previously water-rich river. Of these, the baroque mill in Vlastislav from 1752 and the even older meadow mill (Lucký mlýn) between Úpohlavy and Chodovlice , which already existed before 1695 as the manorial mill of the Zajíc von Hasenburg , have been preserved.
Today the springs above Vlastislav are tapped and fed into a long-distance water pipeline by a waterworks. The Modla currently has poor water quality and absorbs the sewage from several places that have no or only partial sewerage.
