Geography
The river Zdena is 5 km (3.1 mi) long and springs in the suburb of the same name. Zdena is characterized by its winding course, broken into several tributaries, which meet again in the city center where it flows into the river Sana.
History
A legend says that Bliha and Zdena were two sisters that had two brothers at the time of the plague. The two brothers wanted to marry the sisters to save humanity but the sisters did not want that and the brothers killed them. In the place where they were buried two rivers flowed and the two rivers were Bliha and Zdena In 1896 a large prehistoric site ( 6th – 3rd century BC) was discovered at the confluence of the Zdena and Sana rivers; this was an iron - working centre, the finds including castings, hearths, forging tools, large amounts of iron slag
Other
A few years ago, the Zdena spring was visited by a group of French divers who took photos while diving into the Zdena spring at a depth of 140 m (460 ft), which show that the fauna is diverse both at these depths and in that darkness. They found Olms, shellfish and various shrimps there. The manager of the Social Center Zdena says that the arrangement of the river was not the first priority at the citizens' forums, but that it was at the very top for projects that are important for this local community.
