Right tributaries Raslivnaya , Seletskaya

The Wika ( Russian Вика , German: Wiek) is a right tributary of the Angrapa ( Angerapp ). Its origin is in Lake Wikovskoye ( Kleschauer See ) in the Russian Oblast Kaliningrad , about 1500 m north of the border with Poland .

The river leaves the lake in a north-westerly direction and passes Kutusowo ( Kleschauen ) and Bagrationowo ( Wikischken , from 1938 Wiecken ), but then swings to the east, before heading south-east of Pskovskoye ( Pogrimmen , from 1938 Grimmen ) in a more northerly direction. On its meandering course, the Wika also passes Porchowskoje ( Kermuschienen , from 1938 Fritzenau ), the abandoned settlements Groß Kolpacken (from 1938 Großbachrode ) and Kleineschingen , Borok ( Grasgirren , from 1938 Dingelau ), the no longer existing Gudwainen and Schutschkowo ( Szuskehmen , 1936–1938 Schuskehmen , from 1938 Angerhöh ). The Wika finally turns to the west and flows southeast of Majakowskoje ( Nemmersdorf ) near the no longer existing village Proletarski ( Norgallen , 1938-1946 Wiekmünde , later Russian: Russkoje) in the Angrapa.

Most of the tributaries flow into the Wika from the right. Among them, Rasliwnaja ( Friedrichsberger Fliess ) a few kilometers south of Borok in the middle section of the river and Selezkaja ( Herzogsroder Fließ ) shortly before reaching the confluence with the Angrapa are the most important.
