course

The entire river bed of the Reda from the headwaters to the mouth in the Gdańsk Bay is located in the former West Prussia .

The Reda rises southwest of Wejherowo (Neustadt) between the villages of Kębłowo (Kamlau) and Luzino (Lusin) , flows first northwards, then north-eastwards, past Bolszewo (Bohlschau) northwards, then turns south-eastwards just before Wejherowo, at the Passing the northern city limits of Wejherowo further in an easterly direction, passes the urban area of Reda (Rheda) , then turns in a north-easterly direction and then flows eastwards through the large Brücksche Bruch until it is north of Rumia (Rahmel) at the place Beka in the Zatoka Pucka (Putziger Wiek) flows out. In the Brückschen Bruch a second estuary branches off from the Reda, the Stromming , which flows into the Zatoka Pucka about two kilometers further south.

The Reda as the main water artery of the region around Wejherowo performs numerous rivulets, which from the southern mountain ranges in the area of the villages Smażyno (Smasin) and Szemud (Schönwalde) northward flow, including the Bohlschaubach and west of Bach Gościnna (Gossentin) , which branch through numerous tributaries far to the south and southeast. From the north the Reda takes in only one major stream; this rises near the village of Rybno (Rieben) and unites with the Reda at the village of Kniewo (Kniewenbruch) . Including all tributaries, the Reda catchment area covers an area of ​​around 480 km².

The Reda is now part of a canal system and developed as a canal from a point west of Wejherowo to the confluence with the Zatoka Pucka, which has several barrages.
