The Zinna (Polish Psina , Silesian Cyna , Czech Cina or Pština ) is a left tributary of the Oder in Upper Silesia in Poland .
It rises near Gołuszowice ( Kreuzendorf ) near the border with the Czech Republic . On its further course to the southeast it flows through the cities of Głubczyce ( Leobschütz ) and Baborów ( Bauerwitz ). The Troy flows in between the villages of Cyprzanów ( Janowitz ), Lekartów and Samborowice (Schammerwitz) .
After about 50 km the Zinna flows into the Oder near the village of Nieboczowy ( Niebotschau ) south of Racibórz ( Ratibor ).
Since 1137 the Zinna with the Pentecostal Peace of Glatz formed the border between Moravia and Silesia and between the Diocese of Olomouc and Wroclaw, with the right, southern bank forming the Moravian side. The border lost its importance in 1327 when the Duchy of Ratibor became a Bohemian fiefdom and further in 1337 when it was united with the Duchy of Opava under Duke Nicholas . The southern bank was regarded as part of Moravia at least until the late 15th century, when the term Upper Silesia was first mentioned and gradually this term was established, including with the territory of the Duchy of Opava. The church border on the Zinna existed until the 20th century. The linguistic border between the Lachish and Polish-Silesian dialect ran along Zinna - in a local tradition, wróna (crow) flies north of Zinna and vrana flies south .
