The Mēmele at Bauska

The Nemunėlis ( Latvian Mēmele ) is a river in Lithuania and Latvia .

It rises in Lake Lušna near Rokiškis . The river forms the natural border between Lithuania and Latvia for 76 km. At Bauska it flows together with the Mūša (Latvian Mūsa ), which also rises in Lithuania. From here on the river is called Lielupe , “large river”. In the middle part, the river has formed a wide, deep valley, otherwise it runs through flat lowlands.

From Panemunis the river is navigable by boat.
