course

The river , which belongs to the catchment area of the Volga , has its source in the Smolensk Heights ; from there it flows through the central Russian oblasts of Smolensk and Moscow as well as the city of Moscow and flows into the Oka .

From its headwaters , in which the Smolensk Heights rise up to 311 m, the Moskva flows initially in a north-westerly direction, then in a north-easterly direction and then in an easterly direction. After flowing through the Moshaisk reservoir and some cities, it reaches the Russian capital Moscow, which is the largest city on the river and was named after it. The river crosses Moscow in a north-west-south-east direction in numerous meanders . At the Moscow Kremlin , the river and the water diversion channel form an artificial island . The river banks and adjacent parks (e.g. Gorky Park or the Sparrow Hills ) are among the most important recreational areas in the Russian capital. About 120 km southeast of the metropolis , the Moskva flows into the Oka near Kolomna .

The Moskva has been developed for inland shipping . Among other things, there has been a 126 km long canal connection north to the Volga ( Moscow Canal ) since 1937 . There are several ports in Moscow. In addition, numerous excursion boats and scheduled boats operate on the river.
