River course

The Chassyn rises in the Kolyma Mountains at an altitude of around 800  m , 15 km north of the Karamken settlement . Initially, the river flows 25 km south through the mountains. The trunk road R504 , the so-called Kolymatrasse , follows the course of the river between river kilometers 110 and 70. The Chassyn passes the Karamken settlement. Later the Chassyn turns to the south-south-west and maintains the course up to its mouth. The urban-type settlement Palatka and the settlement Chassyn are located on the river. About 65 km above the mouth, the Nelkandscha meets the river from the north. On the left bank of the river is the urban-type settlement of Stekolny . The Magadan Sokol Airport ( IATA : GDX) located 8 km east of the river course. At river kilometer 37, the Uptar flows into the river on the left. This finally flows 35 km west-northwest of the oblast capital Magadan into the Arman, 6 km above its mouth into the Sea of ​​Okhotsk . The Chassyn forms an interwoven river below the confluence of the Nelkandscha .
