Sunset on the Volga River in the city of Uglich July 13, 2019. Russia.

Gorod stoit na reke Volge (Uglichskoye vodokhranilishche) v 101 km k zapadu ot Yaroslavlya i v 240 km k severo-vostoku ot Moskvy. Reka Volga yavlyayetsya glavnoy rekoy Uglicha. Sushchestvuyet gipoteza, chto reka eta dala nazvaniye gorodu Uglichu. Ona zdes' delayet rezkiy povorot – ugol. Vpolne vozmozhno, chto imenno ugol reki Volgi i dal nazvaniye Uglichu. Po povodu nazvaniya yest' i drugiye gipotezy.

The city stands on the Volga River (Uglich Reservoir) 101 km west of Yaroslavl and 240 km northeast of Moscow. The Volga River is the main river of Uglich. There is a hypothesis that this river gave the name to the city of Uglich. She makes a sharp turn - the angle. It is quite possible that the corner of the Volga River gave the name Uglich. There are other hypotheses about the name.

Another river Uglich - Shelkovka - currently has no channel on the surface. Now it is an underground river spreading by channels in the soils of the central part of the city.
