Official slope: 268.0 cm/km
Computed slope: 244.3 cm/km

The computed slope uses EU-DEM digital elevation model data (25 m resolution). Because the model measures average surface height in each 25×25 m cell, it cannot precisely capture the depth of narrow river valleys — elevation differences and slope are therefore often smaller than in reality.
