The Brennica [ brɛˈɲit͡sa ] is a right tributary of the Vistula in the Silesian Beskids of 16 kilometers in length. The river has its source on the slopes of the Beskidek and initially flows southwards before changing its direction of flow in a large arc to the northwest, after it merges with the Leśnica . It flows through Brenna and Górki Wielkie before flowing into the Vistula near Skoczów . The Brennica has been straightened in its lower course. In the upper reaches the Brennica has the character of a mountain river. It meandered in wide loops in the valley before it was straightened.
