Drwęca river
The Drwęca river has its springs near the village of Drwęck, in
Chełmo-Dobrzyń Land in the north of Poland. Drwęca is a right tributary of the Vistula River. It is a typical lowland river
about 207 km long.
It’s one of the most breathtaking rivers.

It flows there in the 8 km-long and 20-30 m-deep picturesque gorge. Next it flows through the
Drwęckie Lake and towards south-west and then through
warmińsko-mazurskie and kujawsko-pomorskie province. On
its way te river passes towns such as Nowe Miasto Lubawskie, Brodnica, Golub-Dobrzyń, finally
Drwęca flows into The Vistula River.
The estuary of the river is situated in
the village of Złotoria.
It has a basin area of 5,344
km².
The name Drwęca is derived from the Praslavonic water names and means run, flow.
The River Drwęca is one of the cleanest Polish rivers and the biggest ichtyological nature
reserve, winds its way through our town.
Charming places and monuments can be found here, Drwęca used to be a
border of Teutonic state that is way we can observe some fortified towns and
frontier castles.

Worth knowing is the fact that, not very long ago, at the beginning
of 70s it was one of the clearest rivers in
Poland and Europe as well. Now, however very slowly, but it is coming back to its earlier magnificent
condition.Drwęca is the only river
having the wildlife reserve on the whole length. There
really is something we need
to protect: clear water, rare kinds of fish,
lampreys, forest lakes, beavers and picturesque
gorges.
The valley of the River Drwęca, together with its tributaries, makes a
sanctuary of nature
Due to considerable level differences the Drwęca
and its tributaries resemble, in fact,
piedmont rivers of high water oxygenation. This is what creates perfect
conditions for some species of fish and
lampreys.
The River Drwęca is the biggest ichthyological reserve in Poland. It was established in 1961 in order to preserve the local water environment
with its fish population, esp. the trout, the salmon, the bulltrout and the vimba.

A few years ago stony
embankments were built along the river
in our town. It is a fine place for resting on hot
summer days.
Surface water intake in Lubicz near Toruń
The river is clean and so it is protected
becasue the city of Toruń scoops water
directly from the river.
In all the cities along the river
sewage treatment
plants were built .
On the Drwęca you can spend a relaxing time
fishing.
