Vychegda River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vychegda (Russian: Вычегда) is a river in the European part of Russia, tributary to the Northern Dvina. Its length is about 1,100 km. Its source is approx. 310km west of the northern Ural Mountains. It flows roughly in western direction, through Komi Republic and Arkhangelsk Oblast. The largest city along the Vychegda is Syktyvkar, the capital of Komi Republic. The Vychegda flows into the Northern Dvina in Kotlas (Arkhangelsk Oblast).
About 800 km of the Vychegda is navigable. In 1822 the Vychegda was connected to the river Kama, tributary of the river Volga, by Northern Ekaterininsky Canal, which however has been disused since 1838.
