Yegoshikha River
Yegoshikha (Russian: Егоши́ха, ), formerly Yagoshikha (Russian: Ягоши́ха), is a river in Perm Krai, Russia, the left tributary of the Kama. In spite of its relatively small size it is famous for its historical significance. It mainly flows in the borders of the Perm city. The origin of Yegoshikha is in the forest area close to Lipovaya Gora and Vladimirskiy microdistricts. The river flows along the Yegoshikha ravine, which divides the left-bank (relatively to Kama) part of Perm city and is crossed by two dams and a bridge (which is also called a dam by general population). At the banks of Yegoshikha there is a lot of country cottages, The South Cemetery and The Yegoshikha (Old) Cemetery. Yegoshikha flows into Kama close to Perm I river port.

Famous quotes containing the word river:
“Every incident connected with the breaking up of the rivers and ponds and the settling of the weather is particularly interesting to us who live in a climate of so great extremes. When the warmer days come, they who dwell near the river hear the ice crack at night with a startling whoop as loud as artillery, as if its icy fetters were rent from end to end, and within a few days see it rapidly going out. So the alligator comes out of the mud with quakings of the earth.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
