BOBER , a See also:river of See also:Germany, the most considerable of the See also:left See also:bank tributaries of the See also:Oder; it rises at an See also:altitude of 2440 ft., on the See also:northern (Silesian) See also:side of the See also:Riesengebirge. In its upper course it traverses a higher See also:plateau, whence, after passing the See also:town of See also:Landeshut, it descends through a narrow and fertile valley to Kupferberg. Here its romantic See also:middle course begins, and after dashing through a deep See also:ravine between the towns of Hirschberg and See also:Lowenberg, it gains the See also:plain. In its See also:lower course it meanders through pleasant pastures, bogland and See also:pine forests in See also:succession, receives the See also:waters of various See also:mountain streams, passes See also:close by See also:Bunzlau and through See also:Sagan, and finally, after a course of 16o m., joins the Oder at See also:Crossen. Swollen by the melting of the See also:winter snows and by heavy rains in the mountains, it is frequently a torrent, and is thus, except in the last few See also:miles, unnavigable for either boats or rafts.
