Its spring is near Rūdiškės in the Trakai District Municipality where it is known as the Galaverknė and passes a chain of smaller lakes. Having left the Vilkokšnis lake, the stream is known as the Verknė. Aukštadvaris with a population of 977 (2011) is the only relatively large settlement along the river.
