Quick Facts Native name, Location ...

Source of the river is in the Voskresensky District near the meeting point of the borders of three districts of the Moscow Oblast Voskresensky, Yegoryevsky and Orekhovo-Zuyevsky. Flows all over North, Desna running into Guslitsa about the village of Tsaplyno.

The Orekhovo-Zuyevsky District's villages: Mosyagino, Chichevo, Baryshevo, Kostenevo, Bezzubovo, Yuryatino are situated on the Desna.

In the higher and middle parts of the stream it has almost entirely lost its forest cover: upstream — because of the extraction of phosphorites, in the middle part — because of the plowing.
