Shchara

The Shchara (Belarusian: Шчара, Ščara, pronounced [ˈʂtʂara]; Russian: Щара) is a river in Belarus that is a tributary of the Neman. Neman is a European river that originates in central Belarus and flows through Lithuania before forming the northern border of Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia's western exclave, which follows its southern channel. Neman drains into the Curonian Lagoon, which is only tenuously connected to the Baltic Sea. Neman has a length of 937 kilometers (582 miles) and is considered a major Eastern European river. It flows generally west to Grodno, about 12 kilometers (7.5 miles) from the Polish border, then north to Kaunas and west again to the sea.

It has a length of 300 km (190 mi) and a catchment area of 6,730 km2 (2,600 sq mi). The Shchara is Belarus's fifth-longest river. It flows through Slonim.
