Instruch River

Instruch River

The Instruch ( _ru. Инструч; _de. Inster; _lt. Įsrutis) is a river in Russia's Kaliningrad Oblast. It develops northeast of Dobrovolsk and, along with the Angrapa River, forms the Pregolya near Chernyakhovsk.

Prior to 1945, the river was part of German East Prussia. The town of Insterburg (now Chernyakhovsk) was named after the river's German name, "Inster".
