The Giesvianka (Gnesvianka) river is located in the Vilnius district of Lithuania.[1][2] A tributary to the Dūkšta River, it begins at the village of Kryžinė and then flows northwest to join the Dūkšta River 11.6 km from its mouth, at a point southwest of Maišiagala. The Gnesvianka river flows through or near multiple villages, including Babrukiškės, Giesvės, and Saugūniškės.[1][3]
The riverbed has been altered in many places by local people from the Soviet era. This makes the river a regulated Lithuanian river.[1] The river spans 10.2 km.[2]
