Moskva River

The Moskva River is a major waterway that runs through western Russia, notably through Moscow, the capital city. It stretches about 472 kilometers (293 miles), serving as an important part of the region’s transportation network and ecosystem. The river originates from the Valdai Hills and flows southwest into the Oka River, eventually connecting to larger river systems that lead to the Caspian Sea. Along its banks, you'll find parks, historic sites, and bridges, making it a significant cultural and economic landmark. The Moskva River plays a vital role in supporting local biodiversity and providing recreational opportunities for residents.
