The Dukiełka[1] ([duˈkʲɛwka]; also spelled Dukielka, [duˈkʲɛlka][2]) is a stream in south-eastern Poland, located in the Subcarpathian Voivodeship, Krosno County, within the Dukla commune.[1] It flows through the Low Beskids mesoregion.[3]
Description
The Dukiełka begins in the southern part of the village of Teodorówka, at the foot of Chyrowa, at an altitude of about 590 m (1,940 ft) above sea level.[4] In its upper course, the stream flows northward, skirting the Krzemionka hill from the west.[4] In the central part of Teodorówka, it receives its left-bank tributary, the Krzemionka, and then turns eastward.[4][5][6] Along this stretch, it forms the boundary between Teodorówka and Nadole, and later between Nadole and the city of Dukla[4].
Within Dukla, the stream flows under National Road No. 19, and near the city park it joins the Jasiołka as its left tributary at approximately 323 m (1,060 ft) above sea level.[4][1][7] The total length of the watercourse is 7.2 km (4.5 mi), and at its widest point it measures about 6.5 m (21 ft).[4]
As well as the Krzemionka, the Kalitówka stream is sometimes also listed as a tributary of the Dukiełka.[8]
History
In the Middle Ages, the mouth of the Dukiełka marked the site of the first settlement of Dukla, which developed upstream along the stream.[2] Near its mouth stood a brewery built probably before 1875, which was destroyed by fire in 1895. The brewery used water from the stream for beer production.[9]
In 2014, the stream area was affected by flooding.[10]
The Dukiełka forms the boundary between two parishes in Dukla: the St. Mary Magdalene parish (right bank) and the St. John of Dukla parish (left bank), effectively dividing the town in half.[11]
Name
The name of the stream derives from the town of Dukla.[7] In documents from 1336 it appears as river called Ducla (flumini dicti Ducla).[7] Later sources list variants such as Dukielka (1402), Dukyelke (1503), and Dukelka (1861).[7] In Witold Taszycki's 1965 publication Urzędowe nazwy miejscowości i obiektów fizjograficznych (English: Official Names of Localities and Physiographic Objects), the stream is officially listed as Dukiełka.[7]
Nature protection
The catchment area of the Dukiełka belongs to the protected water body named Jasiołka od Panny do Chlebianki (English: Jasiołka from Panna to Chlebianka) (code RW2000142184599).[12] Its valley serves as an ecological corridor used by bats such as the greater mouse-eared bat and the lesser horseshoe bat.[13][14]
The Dukiełka, together with the Krzemionka and an unnamed tributary of the Krzemionka, are listed in the Rozporządzeniu Rady Ministrów z dnia 17 grudnia 2002 r. w sprawie śródlądowych wód powierzchniowych lub części stanowiących własność publiczną (English: Regulation of the Council of Ministers of 17 December 2002 on inland surface waters or their parts constituting public property) as important for water resource management and flood protection.[6] A weir crosses the stream within Dukla.[12] The area of 3.8 km (2.4 mi) from the mouth of the Dukiełka has been designated by Wody Polskie as an ONNP (Obszar narażony na niebezpieczeństwo powodzi; English: Area exposed to the risk of flooding).[10]
