However, the name did not express the character of the entire stream (that the river would flow through oak forests), but this type of name was most often created according to the groups of trees that grew at its mouth.

[1] The Doubrava originates in the territory of Radostín on the border between the Křižanov Highlands and Upper Sázava Hills, at an elevation of 624 m (2,047 ft).

[3] The Doubrava flows to Záboří nad Labem, where it enters the Elbe River at an elevation of 196 m (643 ft).

The mouth of the river to the pond is specially protected as the Řeka Nature Reserve with an area of 16.1 ha (40 acres).
