Losvinka, Brook in Krasninsky District, Smolensk Oblast, Russia.
The Losvinka is a waterway in Krasninsky District, Smolensk Oblast, that flows through the region as part of the Dnieper River basin network. It originates east of Palkino village and gradually descends as it makes its way across the landscape before merging into the broader river system.
The waterway shaped settlement in Krasninsky District over centuries, with villages and hamlets establishing themselves along its banks to benefit from the fresh water source. Human activity followed the brook's natural path and influenced the land use patterns of the agricultural region.
Local communities along the Losvinka maintain traditional fishing practices and agricultural methods that depend on the brook's seasonal water flow.
The brook is easiest to access near Syrokorenye village, where you can reach the water and explore the surrounding area. The best time to visit is during warmer months when water levels are stable and paths are passable.
The brook receives water from five named tributaries: Rzhavka, Losvina, Ekhenka, Babinka, and Dubrava, which together form a small network of waterways. These streams shape the drainage patterns across the entire district.
