River

The Nogat branches at Biała Góra ( White Mountain ) from the Vistula River shortly after taking the water of Liwa (Love) on. She then pursued through Malbork ( Marienburg) to the northeast or in the direction Elbląg ( Elbing ), but without reaching the city: Something northwest of her opens the Nogat in the southwest part of the Vistula Lagoon.

The catchment area of ​​1330 km ² comprises Nogat.

Source river

This arises in the area Prabuty ( Riesenburg ) and first flows west and then south to Kwidzyn ( Marienwerder ) where it bends into a U-shaped course to the north. Henceforth it flows parallel to and east of the Vistula northwards to flow in Biała Góra ( White Mountain ) in the Nogat.
