The Smolna (German: Schmollen[1]) is a 27.46 km long river that is a right-bank tributary of the Widawa River.[2]
The Smolna River begins near the village of Wabienice, located approximately 7 kilometers north-east of Bierutów. Then it flows westwards and after approximately 12 kilometers, at the height of Solniki Wielkie, it crosses the provincial road no. 451. For the next few kilometers, the river flows through a partially forested area, passing Gręboszyce, Smolna and Zimnica. The last town located on the Smolna River is Ligota Mała.[3] After passing Ligota, the river enters the Lasy Grędzińskie reserve - an area protected by Natura 2000.[4] The mouth of the Smolna River to the Widawa River is located near the currently abandoned hamlet of Leśny Młyn, on the 72nd kilometer of the river.[2][5]
