Attractions Veli Valley is picturesque, whimsically twisting among the moraine hills in the upper and middle reaches and in some places forming real canyons. However, at present, the river is of interest only in the middle reaches, since in the lower flow it is straightened by a canal, along which in the early 20th century they fused wood for a porcelain factory in Verbilki, and in the upper reaches in recent years it was built up with large dacha settlements.
