It freezes up in November and stays under the ice until April. Principal tributaries: Iren River, Babka River, Irgina River, Vogulka River (left); Barda River, Shakva River (right). Main port: Kungur.Every year hundreds of tourists come to Kungur, through routes down the Sylva, Iren and Shakva rivers. The Sylva River flows leisurely over a flat plateau, across Preduraliye Nature Preserve, and past abrupt cliffs, fossilized remnants of coral reefs left by the long-disappeared Great Permian Sea, which at some places rise up to 100m above the level of the river, covered with pine and fir groves.Inhabited localitiesThe town of KungurThe urban-type settlement of SuksunThe village of Molyobka
