Knajka is a stream in the Cieszyn County, Silesian Voivodeship, Poland, in the historical region of Cieszyn Silesia. It is a left-bank tributary of the Vistula, which it enters just south of Strumień. Its length is variously said to be either 17 kilometres (11 mi) [1] or 19 kilometres (12 mi). [3] It flows through Ogrodzona, Kostkowice, Dębowiec, Knaj and Bąków. Numerous fish ponds are located alongside of it.
The name of the river is derived from a word knieja denoting a wild, dense forest. [4]
