Bezdna

The Bezdna is a river flowing through the Chuvash Republic and Tatarstan that winds across the eastern European plain before joining the Volga. It travels through varied landscapes, creating a network of waterways across the regional terrain.

The Kuybyshev Reservoir was completed in 1956, fundamentally changing the river's lower course. The town of Spassk was submerged, reshaping the entire hydrological system of the waterway.

The Bezdna River intersects territories inhabited by different ethnic groups, including Chuvash, Russian, and Tatar communities, reflecting the multicultural composition of the region.

The river can be accessed from several points along its course, with warmer months being ideal for visits. Forested sections along the banks offer good vantage points for observing the landscape and wildlife.

The sediment accumulation at the river mouth measures 129 millimeters annually, contributing to the ecological dynamics of the Kuybyshev Reservoir system.
