Minija
The 883rd longest river in the world
The Minija is a river in western Lithuania and a right tributary to the Nemunas. It is 202 km (126 mi) long. It begins from small Lake Didovas, and hydrographically from lake Sydeklis, 14 km south of Telšiai. The rivulet that flows out of Sydeklis here is called Mava, in between Lake Ilgis and Lake Pluotinalis - Kliurkė and only after Lake Didovo it gets the Minija name. It flows through Lakes Ilgis, Pluotinalis, Didovas, and Gargždai, Priekulė towns before reaching the Atmata distributary of the Nemunas delta. In 1873 a channel, called "Vilhelmo kanalas" was built that connected Minija directly with Klaipėda port.
