description
The Great Cheremshan rises about 5 km northeast of the village ( Derewnja ) Klyavlino in the Samara Oblast of the same name in the Bugulma-Belebeier Heights near the border with the Republic of Tatarstan. From there it first flows north-west, where it reaches Tatarstan at Tuarma. For several kilometers it now marks the border between Tatarstan and Samara Oblast.
The river curves in a westerly and southwestern direction. At the settlement (Possjolok) Kamenni-Brod it flows again entirely in Samarian territory, where it receives the Great Tarchanka . It then reaches Tatarstan about 10 km northeast of Nurlat . Here it flows in wide curves in a predominantly westerly direction through the south of the Autonomous Republic.
After the confluence of the Great Sultscha and Temerlik , the Great Tschemerschan turns in a south-westerly direction. It reaches the Samara Oblast again, the outermost northwestern tip of which it flows through for only about 10 km, the Karmala and finally overflows the border to the east of the Ulyanovsk Oblast at Novocheremschansk .
Here, after a few kilometers, the Little Cheremshan joins . The Great Cheremshan flows further in west and south-west directions through a valley shaped by mixed pine forests. At Dimitrovgrad the river finally reaches the Volga, which is dammed up to form the Kuibyshev reservoir .
The Great Cheremshan, which is frozen from November to April on average, floods from April to May , where an average of 70% of the annual runoff occurs. The river is very popular with anglers and boaters because of its scenic location.
