Kaczawa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kaczawa (German: Katzbach) is a small river in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship in Poland. It springs from the Bóbr-Kaczawa Mountains near Kaczorów and flows north and northeast through the towns of Świerzawa, Złotoryja, and Legnica. After a length of 98 km the Kaczawa empties into the Oder (Odra) river at Prochowice.
The Kaczawa between Legnica and Dunino was the site of the Battle of Katzbach on 26 August 1813 during the Napoleonic Wars.
