course
The Kočičí potok rises between Dolní Oldřiš , Bulovka and Baranów ( Petersgemeinde ) on the southwest slope of the Bartniki ( shingle fire , 492 m) in the Jizera Mountains foothills near the Polish border in the Czech Republic. The stream first flows around the Bulovský Kopec ( Steinberg , 443 m) to the north and then turns westward, flowing around the Joachimsthaler Stiftswald. Over a length of ten kilometers, the stream forms the border between the Czech Republic and Poland. At Horní Pertoltice the Kočičí potok / Koci Potok changes its course to the north and flows past Łowin ( New Löben ). At the Zadní vrch ( Mittelberg , 308 m) the stream changes its direction to the northwest. The villages of Háj , Stary Zawidów, Habartice and Zawidów follow on both sides of the border . Then the Koci Potok flows into Polish territory and past Ostróżno ( Ostrichen ) and Skiba ( Scheiba ). On its lower reaches the Koci Potok is bridged by the Liberec – Zawidów railway line. At the Zawidów train station, the stream flows into the Niedów reservoir together with the Witka .
