course

The Samara rises southwest of the Ural Mountains northwest of Orenburg in the oblast of the same name , in the Obschtschi Syrt ridge , which forms the watershed to the Urals here. It initially flows south, but after a few kilometers it turns mainly in a westerly direction.

The Kuwai flows north of the Novosergijewka settlement and the Samara turns to the northwest. Shortly before Sorochinsk flows into the Great Uranium . The river continues to flow through the agriculturally used steppe landscape .

Shortly before reaching Buzuluk , the Samara picks up the Tok and the Buzuluk . A few kilometers after the city flows into the Domaschka . At Koltubanowski , shortly after the confluence of the Borowka , the river reaches the border with Samara Oblast .

The Samara now flows in predominantly western directions through the eastern Samara Oblast. It turns northwest of Neftegorsk to the northwest, before flowing in a wide curve to the southwest after the confluence of the Great Kinel to Samara, where it flows into the Volga, which is dammed up to form the Saratov reservoir .

In the ice-free period from mid-April to November, the Samara is navigable for 41 km.
