Wisła, Major river in Central Poland.

The Vistula River extends 1,047 kilometers from the Silesian Beskids mountains through Poland, flowing northward into the Baltic Sea near Gdansk.

During the Middle Ages, the Vistula River established itself as a primary trade route, transporting grain, timber, and salt between Polish cities.

The Vistula River features in numerous Polish folk tales, songs, and traditional ceremonies, marking its central position in Polish national identity.

Modern vessels navigate the river section between the Baltic Sea and Bydgoszcz, supporting commercial transportation and water management systems.

The river's drainage basin covers 193,960 square kilometers across four countries, making it the largest river system in Poland.
