■ Geography
Vylkove is located inside the Danube Delta marshlands, which makes grain growing almost impossible, thus making fishery in the Danube, delta lakes and in the Black Sea the main occupation of the local people. In addition, the city is famous for its viticulture and cultivation of strawberries on the islands in the river delta. The administration of the Ukrainian Danube Biosphere Reserve is based in Vylkove. The territory of the Reserve includes the islands upstream and downstream the Danube, reedbeds to north from Danube, delta water bodies and adjacent area of the sea (2 km or 1.2 mi from the coast).
■ History
Vylkove was founded in 1746 and was assigned the status of ”town” in 1762. It is the last settlement on bank of the Danube before the Black Sea. This town is also known as ”The Ukrainian Venice” thanks to a number of channels excavated inside its territory – the reason why boating is a more common method of transport than an automobile.
