Beloe

Beloe lies in the wooded country of Poshekhonye, north of the Volga and east of the Sheksna. In 1541 the district that became Poshekhonye was separated from the Belozersk lands, with the village of Beloe as its centre. Its surrounding rivers and forests formed part of the region through which the Sheksna connected the Volga with the northern lakes.
