Once in town, go for a walk in Mariinskij and Pechersky Parks: a profusion of magnificent places and sites to be discovered!

Vilkovo, unique small town called the “Ukrainian Venice”, located on the border with Romania is at the confluence of the Danube and the Black Sea. From Odessa, you can go there by car (about 4 hours) or by boat.

This almost inaccessible area was colonized at the time by the Lipovens, Old Russian Believers, fleeing the repressions of the orthodox Mother Church. The Old men – Believers who refused in the 17th century the religious reforms of the patriarch Nikon, came to settle down in this remote area in the mouth of the Danube. The visit of the city of Vilkovo allows to learn about their history and their culture.

Certain parts of the delta are subject to erosion. If certain ecosystems are destroyed by the advance of water, others on the contrary are formed due to the concentration of alluviums, sand and stones. In these parts of the country, this instability makes daily life almost impossible for man, who tried to strengthen houses, outbuildings and gardens.

Thus the old town is on the water and canals replaced streets; the locals move essentially by “gondola” and motorboats. If you follow “the central avenue” – Belgorod canal 24 by boat, you will see clean whitewashed houses with, all around, small gardens, fertilizer, silt, wood, on the quays of the 1-2 m wide canals. The routes that the inhabitants call Eric are spanned by simple wooden bridges most of which are not fixed. If the boat conveys excessive shipment, we remove the bridge, and once the boat passed, we replace it.

We also call Vilkovo the fishermen and the wine grower’s city. According to the legend, the vilkovchanes are capable of walking on water as on land. In Vilkovo almost all of the inhabitants are fishermen, and then here is an opportunity to feast with fresh fish. The amateurs of fishing will appreciate the Danube peaceful banks and its canals with slopes invaded by willows and reeds. The remaining cultivates here a unique grape variety – “novak”, with which we make the excellent wine that bears its name and that the tourists take with them as a souvenir of Vilkovo. Furthermore, the inhabitants of the place have pleasure to offer to the visitors of the city remarkable herb teas made with the wooden samovar.

But the main curiosity of the Ukrainian Venice is the 50 thousand hectares nature reserve of the Danube, which is considered as the biggest swampy territory of Europe. A part of the reserve of the Danube delta is listed UNESCO world heritage.

Here, unique landscapes of the reed bed of the Danube (swamp where reeds represent the main part of the vegetation) and hundreds of rare plants, exotic animals and fishes most of witch are listed on the Red book of Ukraine. But the main tenants of the nature reserve are birds, for witch, it is a real paradise. You can see magnificent pink pelicans, barnacles or white-tailed eagles there. In the reserve, you can go to the “kilometre zero” – the place where the Danube flows into the Black Sea.

Due to the alluviums which settle in the river bed and a constant erosion phenomenon, the delta is in perpetual movement and its face changes regularly. With its artificial canals and the exceptional ecosystem of the delta of the Danube, it is a unique spot.
