Course
It rises in the Eastern Ore Mountains on the border between the German state of Saxony and the Czech Republic near the demolished Bohemian village of Mohelnice (German: Böhmisch Müglitz) from two headstreams:
- The White Müglitz (German: Weiße Müglitz, Czech: Mohelnice) rises near the border by the former village of Přední Cínovec (German: Vorderzinnwald) and then forms the border stream with Saxony.
- The Black Müglitz (German: Schwarze Müglitz, Schwarzbach, Sörnitz or Sernitz, Czech: Černý potok) rises near the abandoned village of Ebersdorf (Cz: Habartice) and its middle reaches flow through the northern part of the Black Meadows (Schwarzen Wiesen; the color label refers to the boggy character of the land). The name Sörnitz comes from Slavic zornice 'mill stream'. During severe weather on 8 July 1927 the stream became a torrent that tore up the ground, changed its riverbed, and flowed down the valley as a mud flow. From its source in the Haberfeld Forest (German: Haberfeldwald), the stream forms the state border for about 2 km (1.2 mi).
From the German village of Müglitz (part of Altenberg), that lies only just below the confluence of the White and Black Müglitz, the Müglitz runs entirely on Saxon territory. It flows by several villages including Lauenstein (a district of Altenberg), Glashütte, Müglitztal, and Dohna, before emptying into the Elbe at Heidenau.
gollark: It's the perfect choice for command line tools (you don't need environment variables or anything for that, no), web applications (sockets are also not actually a thing which exist), data science (data is just lists, right? osmarkslisp™ is great at lists), or systems applications (I am attempting to get it into the Linux kernel in place of BPF).
gollark: osmarkslisp™ features:- tail call optimization (Python lacks this for bee reasons)- strings, somewhat- very fast (sorts a 200-element list of integers in mere seconds)- intuitive syntax with 912571897189274 brackets- no macros, but still really minimal builtin operations- approximately functional scope
gollark: osmarkslisp™ *does* have APIs to access GTech™ solar sites.
gollark: osmarkslisp™, yes.
gollark: That doesn't mean that the languages they are using aren't horrible, or at least more horrible than is possible.
