Quick Summary

The Neisse River is a river in southwestern Poland. There are actually two rivers named Neisse, both of which originate in the Sudeten mountains and flow north into the Oder River.

The more prominent of the two is the Nysa Łużycka (Lusatian Neisse), which is 157 miles (252 km) long. It forms a portion of the German-Polish border, known as the Oder–Neisse Line. The other is the Nysa Kłodzka (Glatzer Neisse), which is shorter at 113 miles (182 km) and is located entirely within Poland.1
