Black Pockau
Encyclopedia
The Black Pockau is a left tributary of the River Flöha
in the Ore Mountains. This virtually unspoilt wild stream with a length of 33 km is known for the picturesque gorge in its middle reaches.
Its murky waters flowing from bogs in the hills give the river a dark colour. The name Pockau, which was recorded in similar form in 1292, probably comes from the Czech and means "opposed", i.e. a stream flowing from Bohemia towards the north.
