The river starts at Piibe Road, 5 km southwest of the village of Peedu. This place is located in the Lääne-Viru County, south of Jäneda and Kõrveküla in Tapa Parish. It flows south until it reaches Järva Parish in Järva County and then continues further southwest. In the village of Mõnuvere, it turns northwest and reaches Põhja-Kõrvemaa Nature Reserve, which it flows through for the rest of its course. At the point where it crosses the road between Jäneda and Alavere, it reaches the border of Harju County and continues as the border river between Järva and Harju counties. Shortly before its mouth, it enters Harju County, Anija Parish. After one kilometre, it joins the Jäneda, which in turn flows into the Jägala and thence the Baltic Sea.
