Gorodnya, River and protected area in northern Moscow, Russia.
Gorodnya is a river flowing through Moscow Oblast that winds through the northern parts of the region before emptying into the Moskva River. The waterway passes through several residential districts and is surrounded by natural areas that extend along its course.
The river has served as a water source for settlements in the Moscow region since medieval times. Gradually the surrounding area developed as communities and farms made use of its water resources.
The river system integrates multiple bridges and pedestrian paths, creating connections between residential neighborhoods in the Brateyevo district of Moscow.
The protected status of this area means visitors should respect the natural environment during their visit. Walking along the banks and paths that connect different neighborhoods is the best way to experience the waterway.
The river maintains a watershed area of 95 square kilometers, incorporating smaller tributaries like Chertanovka, Pushkin Gully, and Chernogryazka within its system.
