arises at Praputy, turns then westward before turning again, to the north. At Biala Goro, the river gets so closed to the Wisla (Vistula) that a connection was dug and there is now access to the Wisla over the lock of Biala Goro.
Due to this access, there is a connection from the Wizla to the Vistula Lagoon over canal Jagiellonski to River Elblag at the town of Elblag. Over this, one gets downstream also to the Vistula Lagoon and upstream into LakeDrizno and then, on Elblaski canal, to Ostrova.



Wisla of Königsberg (Kaliningrad)
Dunes of inland bay bar of Danzig, didn’t allow River Wisla a direct way to the Baltic Sea, it split in two arms short 10 km south of the coast. Wisla of Danzig turned left and has its mouth to the sea a bit westward. The Wisla of Königsberg chose the much longer way to the east and flows into the Frische Haff (Vistula lagoon).  
After the direct breakthrough of Wisla to the Baltic Sea, Wisla of Danzig silted up bit by bit, Wisla of Königsberg assures, next to Nogat, still access to Elblag and Oberländer Kanal.
