The river '''Warta''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|v|ɑːr|t|ə}} {{respell|VAR|tə}}, {{IPA|pl|ˈvarta|lang|pl-Warta.ogg}}; {{langx|de|Warthe}} {{IPA|de|ˈvaʁtə||de-Warthe.ogg}}; {{langx|la|Varta}}) rises in central [[Poland]] and meanders greatly through the [[Geography_of_Poland#Topography | Polish Plain]] in a north-westerly direction to [[tributary|flow into]] the [[Oder]] at [[Kostrzyn nad Odrą]] on Poland's border with [[Germany]]. About {{convert|808.2|km|mi}} long, it is the second-longest river within the borders of Poland (after the [[Vistula]]), and the third-longest Polish river after the Oder (which also flows through the [[Czech Republic]] and Germany).<ref name=yearbook>[http://stat.gov.pl/download/gfx/portalinformacyjny/en/defaultaktualnosci/3328/2/17/1/statistical_yearbook_of_the_republic_of_poland_2017.pdf Statistical Yearbook of the Republic of Poland 2017], [[Central Statistical Office (Poland)|Statistics Poland]], p. 85-86</ref> Its [[drainage basin]] covers {{convert|54529|km2|sp=us}}.<ref name=yearbook/> The Warta is navigable from Kostrzyn nad Odrą to [[Konin]] - approximately half of its length.<ref>[http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/636181/Warta-River Warta River] ''[[Encyclopædia Britannica Online]]''</ref><br />
<br />
The Warta connects to the Vistula via its own tributary, the [[Noteć]], and the [[Bydgoszcz Canal]] ({{langx |pl| Kanał Bydgoski}}) near the city of [[Bydgoszcz]].<br />
<br />
== Course ==<br />
The Warta rises in the [[Kraków-Częstochowa Upland]] at [[Kromołów, Silesian Voivodeship|Kromołów]] in [[Zawiercie]], [[Silesian Voivodeship]], flows through [[Łódź Voivodeship|Łódź Land]], [[Greater Poland]] and [[Lubusz Land]], where it empties into the Oder near [[Kostrzyn nad Odrą|Kostrzyn]] at the border with Germany.<br />
<br />
The Greater Warta Basin defines the site of early Poland; it is said that the tribe of [[Polans (western)|Western Polans]] ({{langx|pl|Polanie}}) settled the Warta Basin between the 6th and 8th centuries. The river is also mentioned in the second stanza of the Polish national anthem, "[[Poland Is Not Yet Lost]]".<br />
