Course

The Wyżni Chochołowski Potok is considered the source of the Czarny Dunajec river. It flows out at an altitude of about 1,500 metres (4,900 ft) under Volovec in the Western Tatras. After the merger with the Jarząbcze Potok, the Chochołowski Potok is formed, called Siwa Woda in the lower part. It is the middle course of Czarny Dunajec. In Roztoki (part of the village of Witów), Siwa Woda connects with Kirowa Woda and the lower course of the Czarny Dunajec begins here.[1][2]

The Czarny Dunajec flows through Podhale, initially to the north-west, between Pogórze Gubałowskie and Orawicko-Witowskie Wierchy, then north through the Orava-Nowy Targ Basin.[3] It makes a wide arc and flows to the east. It flows through the following towns: Witów, Chochołów, Koniówka, Podczerwone, Czarny Dunajec, Wróblówka, Długopole, Krauszów and Ludźmierz. In Nowy Targ it joins the Biały Dunajec river, creating the Dunajec.[4]

Tributaries

Larger tributaries in the sequence of the river:[4]

The width of the river ranges from 3 to 15 metres (9.8 to 49.2 ft). The water depth is variable; from shallows to plunge pools up to 3 metres (9.8 ft) deep. In its upper part (down to the village of Czarny Dunajec) it has the character of a mountain river; there are numerous weirs in its bed in this section. Downstream, in the Orava-Nowy Targ Basin, the river slows down and behaves like lowland rivers; it produces bends and side branches.[5]

Fly fishing is allowed along the entire length of the river, but only outside the buffer zone of the Tatra National Park (below the mouth of the Iwański Potok). The river mainly contains brown trout, less common grayling and chub.[5]

[de] Czarny Dunajec (Dunajec)

Der Czarny Dunajec (deutsch Schwarzer Dunajez/Dunajetz oder selten Schwarzer Dohnst) ist der östliche Quellfluss des Dunajec in der Westtatra und der Region Podhale von 48 Kilometern Länge, der mit seinen Quellbächen Siwa Woda und Kirowa Woda in der Tatra entspringt. Beide Quellbäche vereinigen sich bei Witów zum Czarny Dunajec, der nach Norden Richtung Chochołów abfließt. Er umfließt das Bergland Pogórze Spisko-Gubałowskie von Westen und später in einem Bogen von Norden, wo er auf die Talsenke Kotlina Orawsko-Nowotarska trifft. Dort ändert er seine Fließrichtung und fließt weiter nach Osten. Er trifft in Nowy Targ auf den Biały Dunajec, mit dem er den Dunajec bildet.
