Jasiolka – river in the southeast Poland, right tributary of Wisłok. It is 76 km long, and the basin area is 513.2 km².

History

In 1869, the basin of the Jasiolka River and its surroundings was described by Wincenty Pol, among others. Wincenty Pol wrote: In the area of the Wisłoka River we are struck by another fact; this entire area, which the area of the Wisłoka, Ropa, Jasło, Jasłka and middle Wisłoka occupies, was settled by the so-called Głuchoniemcy from the Sanok pits, that is from the area of Kombornia, Haczów, Trześniów up to the Grybowski section: Gorlice, Szymbark and Ropa from east to west, towards the north up to the Pilźniańska land, which is already the land of the Sandomierski province. The entire area of the Deafland is newly-settled Saxons; as they kept the same outfit as the Hungarian and Transylvanian Saxons. Some areas have been settled by the Swedes, but all of this people today speak the purest Polish language of the Lesser Polish dijalekt, and although different in form and still called the Deaf-Earthers, they have retained neither in speech nor in customs the traces of their original origins, only that farming stands on a higher level here, and weaving is the vocation and mainly domestic occupation of this family.

The historic border between Malopolska and Red Ruthenia runs along the river.

River flow

The sources of the Jasiolka River lie in the Beskid Niski, at an altitude of about 800 meters above sea level on the western slopes of Mount Baba (also known as Kanasiówka, 823 meters above sea level) in the Jaśliski Landscape Park. It flows initially in a northwesterly direction. The upper course of the river at a length of about 5.5 km from the springs is protected by a nature reserve called "Jasiolka Springs". In its further course it forms a beautiful gorge between the mountains Ostra (687 m above sea level; south) and Piotrus (727 m above sea level; north). Further on it passes the village of Trzciana, where a dam on the Jasiolka River has long been planned in an area destroyed by the extraction of gravel from the riverbed. Then it breaks through a narrow isthmus between the massif of Cergowa in the east and Kilanowska Gora in the west, where in the area of Nowa Wieś it changes direction to the north. After passing Dukla, it leaves the territory of Beskid Niski. It crosses the eastern end of the Jasielskie Foothills. Here it slows down its course and from a mountain stream becomes a river. At the height of the village of Niżna Łąka it changes direction again to the northwest. It continues to flow through the territory of the Jasielsko-Sanocki Pools. In Jaslo, at an altitude of about 225 meters above sea level, it flows into the Wisłoka River.
