Vistula

With a length of 651 miles, the Vistula is the Longest River in Poland, and its drainage basin encompasses an area of 75,068 square miles. The drainage basin's greatest portion, 65,000 square miles, is located in Poland, with the remainder divided among Belarus, Ukraine, and Slovakia. The Vistula River originates in southern Poland with the White Little Vistula and the Black Little Vistula. It then runs over the Polish lowlands, passing through Krakow, Plock, Torun, Tczew, and Warsaw. Vistula River flows into Vistula Lagoon and the Baltic Sea's Gdansk Bay. The river is associated with the Quaternary epoch, during which the climate cooled. The river's current shape was formed after the ice sheet that covered the area receded 14,000 years ago. The river runs from the Baltic Sea to Bydgoszcz and can accept small vessels. Over the years, the Vistula River has been one of Poland's key commerce routes, particularly for lumber, salt, and grain.

The Vistula river springs in the southern Silesian Voivodeship near the Czech-Slovak border from two sources: the Czarna ("Black") Wiseka at 1,107 m (3,632 ft) and the Biaa ("White") Wiseka at 1,080 m (3,540 ft). Both are located on the western slope of Barania Góra in Poland's Silesian Beskids.
