The source in the Varegovo swamp [3] (previously the source was located north of the village of Varegovo , located at the southern edge of the swamp, however, active peat extraction has been carried out in the swamp since the 1930s and is currently covered by a network of drainage channels in which the source of the river is lost) . It flows mainly to the northeast along the territory covered by coniferous and mixed forests, as well as through open and in some places swampy areas of land.
It flows through the village of Chebakovo . It flows into the Gorky reservoir in the village of Konstantinovsky [4] , flowing between residential areas and the Yaroslavl oil refinery . The mouth on the right bank is 2656 km from the mouth of the Volga.
The largest tributaries (left): Talitsa, Tsipinka and Likhovodka.
