This shows the official river length. Our calculated river length often differs from the official one. We calculate river length based on the drawn river curve on the map. Discrepancies exist due to different river start locations or different river curves through lakes and dams.

About kayaking on Minija::

Vidurupio slėnio plotis 0,6 – 1 km, o žemiau Priekulės jis tampa negilus ir visai išnyksta. Krantų aukštis vidurupyje ir žemupyje yra 1 – 3,5 m, atodangose 10 – 15 m. Žemupyje krantai labai žemi (iki 0,5 m), todėl nuo užtvindymo saugo pylimai. Upės vaga aukštupyje ir vidurupyje smarkiai vingiuoja, palieka daug senvagių. Aukštupio vagos plotis 20 – 25 m, vidurupio 30 – 35 m, žemupio – iki 50 m. Vagoje pasitaiko daug rėvų, riedulių, ypač tarp Stalgėnų ir Nausodžio, bei ties Dyburiais. Gylis seklumose 0,3 – 1 m, kitur 1,5 – 3 m. Žemupio vagos gylis 6 – 7 m. Tėkmė lėta (0,1 – 0,2 m/s), ypač žemiau Gargždų.

River profile

0 m 60 m 120 m 0 km 50 km 100 km 150 km 200 km 215.4 km
Official slope: 86.0 cm/km
Computed slope: 77.4 cm/km

The computed slope uses EU-DEM digital elevation model data (25 m resolution). Because the model measures average surface height in each 25×25 m cell, it cannot precisely capture the depth of narrow river valleys — elevation differences and slope are therefore often smaller than in reality.
