The Parsęta ( [parˈsɛnta] ; German  Persante ) is a 143 km, according to other sources 127.1 km long river in the Polish West Pomeranian Voivodeship (formerly Hinterpommern ).

course

The river rises at a height of 137 meters above sea level at Parsęcko ( Persanzig ), flows strongly meandering north and flows into the Baltic Sea at Kolberg ( Kołobrzeg ) .

The course of the river is varied: while it feeds a wetland at the source, it is then contained in a ditch. Due to the catchment area of ​​3,145 km² and a relatively large gradient, it has the character of a wild water stream in the further upper reaches. At Belgard ( Białogard ) it is diked, at the village of Rościno ( Rostin ) there is a hydroelectric power station and a weir . Later it flows through alluvial forests , meadows and peat bogs and is only dammed with a weir except in the city of Kolberg. There, the flow in the main run and splits Kanał Drzewny (wood channel), whose flow through a contactor is controlled, and which flows into the fishing port. The wooden dams or bank reinforcements of the Persante from the time before the Second World War are often flooded and only left in remnants, the course of the river is thus subject to its natural dynamics again.

While the upper course is repeatedly blocked by tree obstacles, the Persante from Körlin ( Karlino ) is suitable for canoeing , there are designated resting places for water hikers .

According to linguists, the name of the river is to be interpreted in Prussian : "perses" is a swampy place in the forest or a place in the ice that does not freeze. The German name Persante can therefore be translated as "swamp river". It is considered the western border of the former Baltic language area.
