Niemica (river)

The Świniec carries on moving to the west, where it meets the Kamieński Lagoon, part of the Dziwna.

The name Niemica has been used officially since 1948, replacing the river's earlier German name of Niemitz Bach[3] (the whole area became again part of Poland in 1945, as part of the territorial changes of Poland immediately after World War II, and in the prior centuries it was at various times under Polish, Danish, Prussian and German rule).

In 1958, a Bronze-Age (or possibly early Iron-Age) settlement was discovered on the river's right bank, by the road to the village of Benice.

[1] In 2008, a study of the water quality of the Niemica was carried out at its mouth by the Provincial Inspectorate of Environmental Protection (WIOŚ) of Szczecin.

[4] Water flows into the river from the mechano-biological sewage treatment plant located in Kamień Pomorski.
