The Dubna (Russian Дубна ) is a 167 km long right tributary of the Volga River in the European part of Russia.

Course

The Dubna rises in the Klin - Dmitrower heights in the northwest of Vladimir Oblast. First, it flows in a northerly and northwesterly direction before it turns to the west near the village of Iskra, where the Rassolowka opens. Shortly thereafter, the now approximately 20 m wide river reaches the north-east of Moscow Oblast.

North of Bogorodskoje, just before the junction with the Peremoika, it turns north and flows on through the intensive agricultural area. The river meanders through a valley and takes numerous drainage ditches. After she has taken up the Sulat, it describes an arc to the west and later south-west, where their valley becomes narrower, and now flows through a landscape dominated by forests.

In Werbilki the Dubna bends again in a northwesterly and northerly directions. She is now 25-30 m wide and 1.5-2 m deep, their valley is cut deeper here. Before they reached the city of Dubna, opens out its biggest tributary, the Sestra, the river is now up to 60 m wide.

On their last four kilometers, it marks the boundary of the Moscow Oblast to Tver Oblast, before it flows 8 km below the dam Iwankowoer into the Volga.

The river is frozen from November to April and 15 km from the mouth navigable to the village Bereschok.
