The source of the river is near the town Svislach,[2] in the South-West of Grodno Region, Belarus. It flows first in west direction, and turns north, following the Polish border, near the village Dublany. Near Ozierany Małe it leaves the border and flows northeast to its confluence with the Neman at the small town Svislach, southeast of Grodno. Some of its tributaries are Odła and Usnarka.
