The Cogâlnic rises in the hills of Nisporeni District in the Codri region west of the Moldovan capital, Chișinău. It flows through the cities of Hîncești, Cimișlia and Basarabeasca, and then into the Budjak, past Artsyz and into the Prichernomorskoy lowlands of Odesa Oblast (province) of Ukraine. Together with the Sarata River it enters the Sasyk Liman and thence into the Black Sea.
