BILINA, a small town of Bohemia, Czechoslovakia, situated on the Biele within the Germanized belt of the country. Like many towns in this region it is famous for its mineral springs, the Biliner Sauerbrunnen, which have a temperature of 45.6° F and contain bicarbonate of soda. The water is bottled and exported in large quantities and is also evaporated for its salt. South of the town rise the volcanic heights of the Mittelgebirge, a region of wide panoramas notably from the Rudelstein (2,46oft.), while northward it has easy access to the lignites of the Most-Teplice basin.
