Description
The Samur (Azerbaijani: Samurçay; Lezgian: Самурвацl; Russian: Самур; Rutul: Самыр) is a river in Russia's Dagestan Republic, also partially flowing through Azerbaijan and forming part of the Azerbaijan–Russia border. The Samur river originates in glaciers and mountain springs of the Greater Caucasus mountains. It rises in the northeastern part of Guton Mount at an elevation of 3,648 m. Descending from the mountains for 7 km, the river receives its tributary the Khalakhur River, flowing down from an elevation of 3,730 m. The length of the river is 216 km, its basin 5,000 km2.
