How many rivers are there in Germany?

In Germany, there are over 30 larger rivers, but when smaller rivers, streams, and brooks are also counted, the number rises to several thousand. Determining the exact number is difficult, as it depends on the definition of when a body of water is considered a river. The most well-known and longest rivers in Germany include the Rhine, the Danube, the Elbe, the Weser, and the Main. These rivers play an important role in the country's economy, transport, and environment.
