The Medveditsa ( Russian Медведица ) is a 259 km long left tributary of the Volga in the European part of Russia .
course
The Medveditsa rises in the north-eastern Valdai heights in the Tver Oblast in the north-west of European Russia. It initially flows through a wooded, swampy valley to the south, but after a few kilometers turns east, where the valley widens and is now used for agriculture. She passes Rameschki and picks up Kuschalka and Iwiza .
The Medveditsa then flows in an arc, initially in a north-easterly, easterly and finally south-easterly direction. Dresna and Tschertanowka from the left and Sutschek and Smorodinka from the right flow into this arch . Here it flows through Verkhnyaya Troiza , the birthplace of the Soviet revolutionary , politician and head of state Mikhail Ivanovich Kalinin .
From there, the Medveditsa continues to flow eastwards before turning south at Semenovskoye . From here, the backwater of the Uglich reservoir on the Volga begins , into which the Medveditsa flows another 30 km further south.
use
The Medveditsa is navigable on the lower 41 km from the beginning of April to mid-November during the ice-free period. In the middle reaches the river is unsuitable for navigation because of numerous sandbanks and shallows.
