The Drawa (German Drage ) is a right, 186 km long tributary of the Netze ( Polish Noteċ) in Poland .
Course and catchment area
The source area of the Drage is the valley of Fünfsee in the Pomeranian Switzerland part of the Pomeranian Lake District south of Połczyn-Zdrój (Bad Polzin) near Ogrodno (Ravelsberg) in the powiat Świdwiński (Schivelbein) 212 meters above sea level in Western Pomerania . It flows in a predominantly southerly direction and flows into the networks not far from the town of Krzyż Wielkopolski (Kreuz (Eastern Railway)) .
The entire catchment area of the Drage covers 3296 km². On its way it flows through the Jezioro Drawsko (Dratzigsee) and the Jezioro Krosino (Krössinsee) past Złocieniec (Falkenburg) and Drawsko Pomorskie (Dramburg) into the Jezioro Lubie (Great Lübbesee) , from where you pass through a pine-covered sand area to Stare Osieczno (Wedding) flowing past into the nets. Reichsstrasse 1 used to lead over the Drawa Bridge at Stare Osieczno .
The river flows through the Drawa National Park, which was designated in 1990 . Today the Drawa is a paradise for water sports enthusiasts.
history
From 1368 to 1772 the Drage / Drawa formed the border between Brandenburg and Poland . This is where the border between the dioceses of Cammin and Posen lay until the Reformation . In Prussian times it formed the border between the Neumark and the West Prussian Netzedistrikt from the village of Blumenwerder (now in Polish: Piaseczno ) in the Neustettin district to the mouth .
Because of its balanced water flow caused by many post-glacial lakes, the drage was used for rafting wood. The Elector Friedrich Wilhelm von Brandenburg made efforts in 1680 and 1681 to make the Drage navigable in order to promote trade between Western Pomerania and the Neumark . Until the wedding, it was also navigable in the 18th and 19th centuries, although the boats had to be towed upstream.
The Dragebrücke bei Hochzeit is a historical place, because (most likely) near here the last sovereign Duke of Pomeranian , Mestwin II , took part of Western Pomerania for the second time in a contract at the Dragebrücke from the Margraves of Brandenburg . In addition, one of the last military chapters of the fall of the “ Third Reich ” took place here.
Since 1918 there has been a hydroelectric power station near Borowo ( Alt Springe ).
