In several places, the river breaks through the rock gates , narrowing in these places to 10 meters. The shores are rocky, high, overgrown with forests.
After the confluence of Wangyr turns to the north, the rapids disappear, but the flow velocity continues to remain high. The shores are lowered, the forest on the shores alternates with swamps, the width of the channel is 100-150 meters. Kosyu crosses the railway Kotlas - Pechora - Vorkuta near the village Kosyu and the station of the same name.
