The Nogat is a 62 km long estuary of the Vistula , which, unlike the main arm, does not flow into the Gdańsk Bay , but into the Fresh Lagoon .
River course
The Nogat branches off from the Vistula at Biała Góra (Weißenberg) and shortly afterwards absorbs the water of the Liwa (love) . Then it strives via Malbork (Marienburg) to the northeast or in the direction of Elbing , but without reaching the city: A little northwest of it the Nogat flows into the southwest part of the Frischer Haff .
The catchment area of the Nogat covers 1,330 km².
From 1920 to 1939 the Nogat formed the state border between the German Reich ( East Prussia ) and the Free City of Danzig . In this capacity, the river plays a role in the biography of Marion Countess Dönhoff .
Source river
The Nogat was not always connected to the Vistula, but at times drew all of its water from the Liwa (love). This flows from Prabuty (giant castle) first west and then south to Kwidzyn (Marienwerder) , where it bends north in a U-shaped course. From then on it flows northwards parallel to or east of the Vistula to flow into the Nogat in Biała Góra (Weißenberg) .
