Korchyk is a small river upon which Korets, the city of ten temples, stands. It flows from the Khmelnytskyi region through the Rivne region to the Zhytomyr region and empties into the Sluch near the village of Ustia. For tourists, Korchyk is primarily a picturesque valley beneath the walls of the Korets Castle and the monastery.
What it is like
The length of the Korchyk is 82 kilometers, and its basin area is almost one and a half thousand square kilometers. The river originates south of the village of Romaniv and flows predominantly northward. The valley is terraced, two to four kilometers wide, and the floodplain is swampy in places. The width of the riverbed ranges from one to two meters in the upper reaches to 22 meters, with a depth of up to 1.7 meters. There are ponds on the river.
Korchyk in Korets
Korchyk looks its most beautiful in Korets: the river meanders beneath a hill bearing the ruins of the Princes Koretsky Castle, and there is a dam on it within the town. From here, views open up onto the old town, the Trinity Monastery, and St. Nicholas Church.
Fishing
Korchyk is small and shallow, so fishing is mainly done in the ponds and stretches of water above the dams, particularly in Korets. General fishing regulations apply.
