The Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve, Europe's largest wetland, is loc-
ated in Ukraine's far southwest where the Danube dumps water and silt
into the Black Sea. Few make the effort to reach this far-flung wedge of fertile
territory (few Ukrainians have been there), but those who do are rewarded with
astoundingly beautiful scenery, colourful birdlife, and serene evenings in drowsy
Vylkovo, fancifully nicknamed the 'Ukrainian Venice' thanks to its network of
canals.
