The '''Raging Neisse'''<ref>Dodge, Lt Col Theodore Ayrault. ''Napoleon: A History of the Art of War. Vol. IV'', 2014</ref>{{efn|''Neisse'' is pronounced "nicer".}} ({{langx|pl|Nysa Szalona}}, {{Langx|de|Wütende Neiße}} or ''Jauersche Neiße'') is a [river](/source/river) in [Poland](/source/Poland). It has a length of about {{convert|51|km}} and flows into the [Kaczawa](/source/Kaczawa), which in turn flows into the [Oder](/source/Oder). Its largest tributary is the [Little Neisse](/source/Nysa_Ma%C5%82a).

The Raging Neisse rises at a height of {{convert|600|m}} on the western side of a mountain called the Kokosz on the [Wałbrzych Heights](/source/Wa%C5%82brzych_Mountains). It flows down through the lowlands among the foothills of the [Sudetes](/source/Sudetes) and the heights of [Chojnów](/source/Chojn%C3%B3w), through the towns of [Bolków](/source/Bolk%C3%B3w) and [Jawor](/source/Jawor). It then merges with the [Kaczawa](/source/Kaczawa) at a height of {{convert|141|m}} not far from Jawor near the village of [Dunino](/source/Dunino).

The fact that the Neisse runs through hilly terrain for almost its entire length results in that during heavy rainfall, the water level in the river can suddenly rise up even to 2 meters , hence its name – the Raging Neisse

== Napoleonic Wars ==
The river became famous as a result  of the [Battle of Katzbach](/source/Battle_of_Katzbach) when fleeing French troops being pursued by [Marschall Blücher](/source/Marschall_Bl%C3%BCcher) were driven into the [Katzbach](/source/Kaczawa) and Raging Neisse rivers which were swollen as the result of a thunderstorm.{{sfn|Rose|2018|p=241}}
