The Dědina (also called Zlatý potok) is a river in the Czech Republic, a right tributary of the Orlice River. It flows through the Hradec Králové Region. It is long.
==Etymology== The Czech word dědina denoted 'inherited property' and regionally also 'village'. Until 1984, the upper and middle course of the river was called "Zlatý potok" (meaning 'golden stream'). However, for the sake of simplification, the official name of the river was unified and the name Zlatý potok is used only for the artificial branch of the Dědina and for a small tributary in the upper course of the Dědina. An effort to re-name the river to its historical name was unsuccessful due to the cost it would entail.
