Traditional Bulgarian Fishing Boats

The traditional wooden fishing boats used on the Danube River near Popina and throughout the region (especially near Tutrakan) are known as Lotka or Tutrakanka. These, in particular, are often flat-bottomed, durable, and sometimes called "Tutrakanka" after the famous boat-building town.

Fishing has been a way of life in this small village of Popina for generations. Our village sits on the Danube River and it has always provided fish as a source of food and recreation for our village people.
