Geography
[edit]It originates from the Kalynske marsh, near the granite hills in the village of Velikiy Yablunets, at the watershed with the Uzh River. It flows mainly in southern outskirts of the Virivka village and flows into the Ubort River, the right tributary of Pripyat.[2]
On the left bank of the river is the village of Nepiznanichi, through which the northern limit of the distribution of glacial deposits passes. On the right bank is the village of Virivka, to the south of which there is a large hill with outcrops of granite, quartz and gneiss.[3]
