The River Tana (or Tanaelva) is the fifth longest river in Norway, with a total length of approximately 350 km. Lake Mjosa is the biggest lake in Norway. However, the North European country most famous for its bodies of water is Finland (the "Land of 1000 Lakes").

3. What Central European country has Lake Chiemsee and the River Elbe as two of its main bodies of water?
