Minija
Minija is a river in western Lithuania and a tributary to Nemunas. It is 202 km (126 mi) long.[1] It begins from small Lake Didovas, and hydrographically from lake Sydeklis, 14 km south of Telšiai. The rivulet that flows out of Sydeklis here is called Mava, in between Lake Ilgis and Lake Pluotinalis - Kliurkė and only after Lake Didovo it gets the Minija name.
