The Elbląg ( German Elbing ) is a 14.5 kilometer long river in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship that flows through the city of Elbląg ( German Elbing ).
The Elbląg drains the Druzno ( German Drausensee ) and flows into the Fresh Lagoon ( Polish Zalew Wiślany ) and thus into the Baltic Sea . It is navigable along its entire length and, as a maritime shipping route, connects the Elbinger seaport with the Frischen Haff.
