Czech Republic
Like Germany, the Czech Republic is not very well known for it's whitewater-rivers. But the regions in the north and north-east do offer some amazing trips e.g. on rivers usually associated with ocean liners.

Looking at the Elbe in Hamburg (Germany), no one would ever imagine it's wild source near Spindleruv Mlyn (Spindler Mühle).
