The Akhtuba ( Russian Ахтуба of Kazakh Ак-тюбе for "White Hill") is 537 km long, the longest estuary of the Volga River in southern Russia .
At Wolschski it branches off to the left of the Volga and runs (northeast) parallel to the main river, before it flows into the Busan , another branch of the Volga estuary, at Wolodarski , which leads to the Caspian Sea . The Akhtuba is part of the Volga Delta , large parts of which are under nature protection.
The largest city on the Akhtuba is Wolschski .
