To the west of the town of Żerniki (on the main road from Kielce to Krakow), the Lossosina flows in as a left tributary, coming from the north, from there the Nida bends in a sharp arc to the south and takes the Czarna Nida flowing in from the east - the main tributary from the surrounding area Kielce - as a left tributary.
