The Bober (Polish Bóbr; Czech Bóbr ) is a left tributary of the Oder in the south-western Poland.

Course

The Bober arises from the Boberská stráň ( Bober rest) at Bóbr ( Bober ) near Žacléř ( Schatzlar ) in the Czech part of the Rehorngebirges. It flows approximately parallel to the Lusatian Neisse through Silesia north and crosses the city of Jelenia Góra ( Hirschberg in the Giant Mountains ), Boleslawiec ( Boleslawiec ) Szprotawa ( Sprottau ) and Żagań ( Sagan ). Finally, it opens in Krosno ( Crossen an der Oder ) in the Oder. The Bober is not navigable along its entire length of 268 kilometers. He is very popular with canoeists. From Żagań downstream of the Bober forms the eastern border of Lower Lusatia. The river is dammed near Hirschberg in the Bober dam ( dam wall ) for flood protection.
