Attractions

Veli Valley is picturesque, in the upper and middle reaches whimsically meandering among the moraine hills and in some places forming real canyons. However, at present, the river is of interest only in the middle reaches, since in the lower reaches it is straightened by a channel through which at the beginning of the 20th century the forest for the porcelain factory in Verbilki was rafted, and in recent years it has been built up with large summer cottages.

Ichthyofauna

Perch, ruff, pike, gudgeon, roach, bleak, bream, chub, crucian carp.
