The river 'Someş' in
Romanian or 'Szamos' in
Hungarian, flows through
Romania and
Hungary.
There are two headstreams, the ''
Someşul Mare'', rising from the
Rodna Mountains in
Bistriţa-Năsăud County and the ''
Someşul Mic'' rising from the
Apuseni Mountains in
Cluj County, which is in turn formed by the confluence of another two rivers: the ''
Someşul Cald'' and ''
Someşul Rece''.
The Someşul Mare and the Someşul Mic meet at
Mica, from where the Someş flows westward, through
Satu Mare, to join the
Tisza in Hungary, near
Vásárosnamény.
The river Someş was known in antiquity by the name ''Samus''.
