UKRAINE has an unusual train tunnel. If most of the tunnels are made of concrete, this one will really make the eyes fresh.
Named Tunnel Love Tunnel Love, the tunnel between Klevan and Orzhiv Village holds both mysterious and interesting sides. The train tunnel stretches for seven kilometers.
Near Orzhiv Village the railway line splits in two, the other leads to Klevan, while the other leads to a secret military base, from the cold war era that once occurred, this train line is hidden in the forest.
Beginning of the formation of love tunnel was originated from trees that deliberately planted along the train line. The tree planting aims to keep the military equipment from being monitored by the enemy and hidden in the process.
The trees grew to form like tunnels through the trains. The growing trees were then neatly trimmed, but not by the military, but by the parties involved in the plywood plant. In addition to military trains, the plywood factory train also passes the love tunnel.
The plywood factory train passes through the love tunnel to get to Klevan every few days, depending on a lot of plywood being transported. But, it's for the tunnel of the train of love in the past, because now the tunnel has another function.
Yes, another function that is the tunnel is often used as the location of pre-wedding photo pairs of bride-to-be. In addition to being used for shooting locations, foreign tourists are also often curious and visited the tunnel made of trees.
However, unfortunately, in 2015 a Japanese tourist was hit by a train that passed through the Tunnel of Love. The 38-year-old female traveler suffered a broken hip due to an accident that happened to him.
The Love Tunnel does not have any official protection or any rules. However, a few years ago the factory cut down several trees in order to help and ease the train, but a big protest was made, until the factory no longer cut down the trees at that time.
While on this train line, Travelers will feel as if you are in a fairy tale world. The reason, trees that grow rimbuh and shady along the train line really spoil the view and give the impression as a train appeared suddenly from behind the forest.
