Motława (German: Mottlau) is a river in Eastern Pomerania in Poland.[1] The source is in Szpęgawskie Lake, northeast from Starogard Gdański. It goes through Rokickie Lake to Leniwka.[2] The total length of the river is estimated at 68 km, with an area of 1511.3 km².[3]
The city of Gdańsk is situated at its mouth in the Leniwka. In Gdańsk, the Motława ferry crosses the river, a service that has run since the year 1687.[4]
The Polish name Motława is derived from the Old Prussian language. In German the river is known as Mottlau.
A common theory for the etymology of the cities Gdańsk and Gdynia is that they are named after an older Polish and Kashubian name for the river, Gdania.
