Vyya

The Vyya flows through wooded, rolling lowlands to join the Pinega from the left. Its valley belongs to the remote river country between the Northern Dvina and the Mezen, where settlement followed the watercourses through the forest. Communities on the Vyya and upper Pinega drew on the forest for hunting as well as on the river itself. The Pinega carried the waters of the Vyya westward towards the Northern Dvina and the White Sea.
