Holiday and fishing

We advice you to come to Vilkovo if you are fond of:

• “Wild” fishing and fascinating fishing on predatory fish all year round;
• Fascinating fishing on predatory fish all year round; More

  There is a very precise quote of Konstantin Paustovsky about fishing saying any man if he spends at least one day with a rod on a river or lake bank, if he inhales the fragrance of flowers, if he hears the songs of birds and clanging of cranes, if he sees bronz or silver shining of a big fish in the dark water, if he finally, feels the movements of a caught fish on the finest plunking fish line, for a long time will he refresh in his memory such a day as one of the happiest days in life. Nail Gaiman also said that people go fishing not to hook fish, but to ease the mind. For ourselves we would like to add that here in Vilkovo you will have an opportunity to enjoy beautiful intact nature of the Danube estuary, and there is a lot of fish here.

  At your option we may offer you to fish carp, grass carp, crucian carp, pike or asp in an inland water reservoir. You don’t need to go out of your cottage for that. If you prefer «wild» fishing, we will arrange a transfer to the Danube estuary with an instructor or, as an option, to the isles. Here you may hook such fish as wels catfish, pike, asp, zander etc. In any case, where you are an experienced fisherman or beginner, or a first-timer at all — we declare with confidence that you will like fishing on the Danube in Vilkovo.

• Excellent hunting for waterfowl (during hunting season); More

  Hunting as a kind of activity begins in the period of the primitive communal system. At those times hunting was one of the main occupations enabling people to get fattening and nourishing meat of animals, as well as warm fur and skin. Men were traditionally those to be occupied with this dangerous activity requiring physical strength, legerity, best practice, quickness and stratagem. Later as the society developed also changed the types of weapon. However the necessity to obtain food in such a dangerous way gradually disappeared and turned hunting into a particular kind of sport and hobby. Moreover, although hunting is still known as business of men, more and more women join it. To track down a wild animal and get a hold of it as men do, spark a genuine interest in women. We offer our guests help in arrangement of water fowling (duck, goose), pheasant hunt, ring-dove hunt and hare coursing. We will render you assistance in obtaining a license, renting live decoy-ducks and geese, or their full mounts. If you wish you may order a service of a huntsman with a dog.

• Walks across Danube — it will be very interesting for you to go to the “Zero” kilometer of Danube;
• Tours to Old Believer church, local history place, fishing place, beach, and other different special tours according to your wish and taste;

We advise to gourmets to try the Danube herring. May be you have heard about an unusual Danube herring. But even Ukrainians eat it not often, and for the western Europeans it is really an unprecedented delicacy. Many people like this fish. The taste of this local herring is matchless, it really tasty no matter the way it was cooked. The main difference this kind of herring from other kinds is an unusual juiciness and fat content.
