The paper presents briefly main flood types in the Czech Republic and is orientated to the peak discharges analysis of two selected hydrological stations situated in different catchments. The peak discharges exceeding maximum peak discharge with return period of two years (Q2) were analysed in the upper parts of the Dyje River (period 1935–2006) and the Svratka River (period 1925–2007). The main purpose was the assessment of the frequency, seasonality and extremity of floods in the period of systematic hydrological observations. The chronologies of floods exceeding the two-year maximum peak discharge with respect to their N-year return period and occurence during the winter and summer hydrological half-years were studied. Rate of runoff during hydrological years was evaluated and extremely wet hydrological years were determined.
