Etymology

The river's name referred to its clear water and was derived from svítat, which meant "[be] clear" in Old Czech.[1] The river is first documented in 1125 in Chronica Boemorum.[2]

The river valley is densely populated and there are many relatively notable settlements on the river.[5] Apart from the city of Brno, the most significant towns on the river are Blansko and Svitavy, named after the river.[2] The river flows through the municipal territories of Svitavy, Hradec nad Svitavou, Banín, Březová nad Svitavou, Brněnec, Rozhraní, Stvolová, Skrchov, Letovice, Svitávka, Boskovice, Skalice nad Svitavou, Lhota Rapotina, Doubravice nad Svitavou, Rájec-Jestřebí, Ráječko, Blansko, Olomučany, Adamov, Bílovice nad Svitavou and Brno.

Bodies of water

There are 583 bodies of water in the basin area. The largest of them is the Letovice Reservoir with an area of 98 ha (240 acres), built on the Křetínka.[3] Two fishponds are built on the upper course of the Svitava.

Use

There are a large number of mills and hydroelectric power stations on the river.[6]

Tourism

The Svitava is suitable for river tourism. The river is navigable all year round, but there are many weirs on it. The most popular section for paddlers is between Letovice and Blansko.[6]
