The Elbe rises at an altitude of about 1400 m (4593 ft). Of the numerous small streams whose waters compose the infant river, the most important is the B?l? Labe, or White Elbe. After plunging down the 60 km (37 miles) of the Labsk? vodop?d, the latter stream unites with the steep torrential Mal? Labe, and thereafter the united stream of the Elbe pursues a southerly course, emerging from the mountain glens at and continuing on to Pardubice, where it turns sharply to the west. At Kol?n some 43 km (27 miles) further on, it bends gradually towards the north-west.
