Kobra

The Kobra flows through the forested northern Vyatka country and joins the Vyatka from the right. Its name comes from a Komi word for damp, marshy ground covered with conifers. Snow and rain feed the river, whose upper course is narrower than the broad lower reaches. The Kobra belongs to the Volga basin: the Vyatka carries its waters south to the Kama, which joins the Volga farther downstream.
