The river rises at an altitude of about 900 m above sea level in the Ukrainian Carpathians in Turka Raion in the village Wowtsche ( Ukr Вовче, russ Волчье / Woltsche ) near the Ukrainian- Polish border. At a length of about three kilometers, dozens of small streams flowing from the southwestern slopes of Tschentyjewka Mountain ( Ukr Чонтийовка / Tschontyjowka ) together ( 923 m) and form the Dniester.
At the Dniester was up to the partitions of Poland, the Turkish- Polish border.
In the Carpathian spring many of its right tributaries that lead to clear mountain water. The only exception is the small tributary Siwka that enters in the Vorkarpatenebene effluent from the chlorine chemical factory in the city of Kalush in the Dniester.
In the Vorkarpatenebene lies between the cities Stry, Schydatschiw, Mykolaiv, Komarno and Sambir a large wet meadows, the numerous endangered plant and animal species housed ( eg, large populations of the corncrake (Crex crex) ).
From the city Zalischyky the Dniester cuts in the form of up to 160 m deep, sometimes a few hundred meters wide Talmäanders the Podolic plate.
In Nowodnistrowsk the river is dammed by a hydroelectric power plant on a length of 100 km plentiful. Then it forms to several kilometers in length, the natural border between Moldova and Ukraine before flowing to the municipality Nimereuka on Moldovan territory and then on Transnistria is separated from the rest of the country.
In south-east flowing it traverses the Dubăsari reservoir. Then the flows Bîc him, and he happened Tiraspol. The Dniester flows a few miles west of Odessa and a little south of the Moldovan - Ukrainian border. The broad estuary of the river consists of several arms, in a marshy Liman called Dniester Liman (Ukrainian Дністровський лиман / Dnistrovskyi Lyman ) with dimensions of 40 × 10 km ² of lead. This is separated by a narrow tongue of land from the Black Sea.
