The Orla is a small river of Saxony, Germany. It is a tributary of the Kleine Röder, which it joins in Ottendorf-Okrilla.[1][2]
The river meets the Kleine Röder in the Unterdorf area of Ottendorf‑Okrilla at about 175 m above sea level. The Orla is dammed at several points, especially within the village of Wachau, creating ponds including the castle’s moat and the Wachauer Schlossteich (church pond).[3]
As a fishing water, the Orla is managed by the Anglerverband Elbflorenz Dresden under waterbody number “D 07‑08” for a stretch of 5 km from Wachau to its confluence with the Kleine Röder.[4][5]
It is known for trout (forellen) fishing.[6]
