Kuloy

Kuloy stands on the river of the same name, which flows north through forest towards the Mezen Gulf of the White Sea. Salt boiling was practised in the Kuloy country in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, using brine from local springs. The upper river approaches the Pinega closely, and travellers could carry their boats across a short portage between the two waterways, linking the Dvina basin with the northern coast.
