Course

The Thyra begins its course in the old quarter of Stolberg in the Harz Mountains at the confluence of three mountain streams - the Große Wilde, Kleine Wilde and Lude[2] - and then flows through Stolberg, where several streams join it, before heading south through a steep valley to Rottleberode. Here the Thyra valley becomes very wide, but near Uftrungen it narrows again. South of Uftrungen the Thyra leaves the Harz and enters the Goldene Aue, crossing Bösenrode and Berga, before this little river enters the Helme.

Influence

Several things are named after the Thyra, for example the Thyra thermal baths (Thyratherme) in Stolberg or the railway line known as the Thyraliesel.

gollark: It's an inverted index thingoid. Each term has a compressed bitmap of document IDs. Each document lists the terms in it and their count, and has a probabilistic filter thing for nearness queries.
gollark: There are only a few MB of stuff in there (big documents, not lots of small ones).
gollark: I also haven't checked if it breaks horribly with more than 3 data.
gollark: The code quality of the entire thing is *not ideal*, and it has a few mildly apiaristic limitations, but whatever.
gollark: Muahahaha. At last my pythonous program can submit documents for indexing, ish.
