Lake Vedlozero

Vedlozero lies in the forest country of southern Karelia. The Nyalma and Vukhtanegi feed the lake, whose outlet, the Vidlitsa, flows toward Lake Ladoga. The nearby village of Kinerma belongs to the western part of the Livvi Karelian settlement area. Lakes and rivers here form two neighbouring drainage systems: while waters farther east reach Onega, the Vidlitsa carries those of Vedlozero directly toward Ladoga.
