Geography
Course
The Desna River originates in the Smolensk Heights of Smolensk
Oblast, Russia. The river's source lies
eastsoutheast from the city of Smolensk and not far from Yelnya
in a forest near the village of Naleti. The Desna
then flows south through a low and swampy valley toward the city
of Bryansk, where the river's right bank rises.
After its confluence with the Seim River near the
Russian-Ukrainian border, the river then widens, splitting into
numerous smaller branches. Its right bank declines again near
the city of Chernihiv, and again near one of its
tributaries, the Oster, where the Desna continues its course
through a low, muddy plain until it finally reaches its
mouth near Kiev at the Dnieper River.
