The Elbe river is another miracle, which dubbed the monument of industrial culture. A large metal bridge called the Blue joined the two villages, facilitating the passage between them.the river Elbe on the map

The Elbe River mentioned in the ancient writings of the Greek geographer Strabo. In the eighteenth year of our era he drew it on his map in the center of Europe and called LFR. This word has old Norse roots and means bystrovany the river. However, modern researchers doubt that the name of the main river of Saxony is related to the Scandinavian language. Though, because Elba has no outlet to the Baltic sea and Scandinavia. Most scientists believe that the toponym comes from the word "albo", which translates as "bright, white". Or from the Gaelic words “Albis" (means "white water"), the Latin “Albis" (i.e. "light") or the Celtic “lb” – "the river".

Anyway, one thing is clear: mighty river Elbe (on the map it can be found in the centre of Europe) decorates our planet. She is a gem not only of Dresden, but also the heart of Saxony.
