The Western Oder reaches the Szczecin Lagoon by passing directly through the city of Szczecin as a canalized branch of the Oder River. About 50 miles from the Baltic Sea, the river splits into two main branches; while the right branch (the Eastern Oder or Regalica) flows east of the city through Lake DÄ bie before entering the lagoon, the Western Oder flows through the city and enters the lagoon directly.1
