The whole course of the Shlina belongs to the Valdai Hills. The source of the river is Lake Shlino which is shared between Tver and Novgorod Oblasts. The Shlina flows out at the Tver Oblast side close to the village of Komkino and flows east. It crosses Firovsky District, a stretch of it makes the border between Ozyorny and Firovsky District. Further east the Shlina returns to Firovsky District, crosses the southern part Bologovsky District, and enters Vyshnevolotsky District. It enters the Vyshny Volochyok Reservoir by the settlement of Krasnomaysky.
