Course

The Warta River rises in the Krakow -Czestochowa Jura in Silesia east of the city Zawiercie ( Warthenau ) and south of Częstochowa ( Czestochowa ), flows through the plains of Great Poland and Lubusz Voivodeship and flows Kuestrin (Polish Kostrzyn nad Odra ) in the Oder. It is the largest tributary of the Oder and at their confluence even longer than the main river. However, it is significantly lower in water content than the Or because their catchment area is located almost exclusively in the relatively dry Polish Lowland.
