River in Warmian-Masurian, Poland
The Pasłęka (German: Passarge; Lithuanian: Pasargė) is a river in northern Poland that debouches into the Baltic Sea on the Vistula Lagoon near Braniewo. It flows through the Olsztyn and Mrągowo lakelands, and through Gdańsk Coastal Area.
The reported length of the river varies, depending on sources, from[1] 169 to 211 kilometres (105 to 131 mi).[2]
The river springs nearby Olsztynek, between Stawiguda and Gryźliny, at 156.6 meters (514 ft) AMSL;[2] though some sources place it in the Pasłęk reservoir, which lies at 153 m (502 ft) AMSL.[2]
The river flows through the town of Braniewo.
The drainage area of Pasłęka spreads over 2,330 square kilometres (900 sq mi).[2]
Pasłęka’s average mouth discharge equals 15.7 m3/s (550 cu ft/s).[citation needed]
The whole length of the river is covered by River Pasłęka Beaver Refugium nature reserve.
Pasłęka is one of Warmia‘s two main rivers, accompanied by Łyna.
Pasłęka divides two historical lands: Warmia and Upper Prussia (Powiśle), consequently for centuries bordering Polish Warmia and the Polish fiefdoms of the Teutonic Order and Ducal Prussia.[2]
In the 2007 water quality survey conducted on Pasłęka 2 kilometers (1.2 mi) from its mouth, its water was classified as the 4th class.[3]
The historic Polish name Pasłęka was officially confirmed following World War II in 1949, replacing the former German name Passarge.[4]
