Etymology
editThe river was probably named after the town of Moravská Třebová. However, there is also the possibility that the name of the river originated from the verb tříbit ("chop down, clear"), meaning "a river flowing through a place created by chopping down a forest", and the name of the town was derived from the river.[1]

It is 48.2 km (30.0 mi) long. Its drainage basin has an area of 579.8 km2 (223.9 sq mi).[2] The average discharge at its mouth is 2.27 m3/s.[3]
