Specifications
- Length
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 Žvelsa:
Žvelsa – Lietuvos upė, kairysis Minijos intakas. Prasideda Rietavo savivaldybėje, Dausynų miške, Aukštojo tyro telmologiniame draustinyje, 5 km į šiaurės rytus nuo Endriejavo. Teka į vakarus miškingomis vietovėmis Plungės ir Klaipėdos rajonų teritorijomis, labai vingiuoja. Įteka į Miniją 62 km nuo jos žiočių, ties Žvelsėnais.

River profile
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.
