Vyg

The Vyg (Выг; Uikujoki) is a river in the Republic of Karelia, Russia. It consists of the Upper Vyg which is 135 km long and discharges into Lake Vygozero, and the Lower Vyg, which is 102 km long and flows from Vygozero and discharges into Onega Bay of the White Sea near Belomorsk.

The Upper Vyg flows through several small lakes in a swampy land. The Lower Vyg is a part of the White Sea–Baltic Canal and is controlled by several dams.

There were famous raskolnik monasteries along Vyg and its tributary Leksa (Vyg tributary), notably the Vyg River Hermitage (also Vygoretskaya Hermitage)
