Tunnel of Love Ukraine
The Tunnel of Love is a section of industrial railway located near Klevan, Ukraine. It is surrounded by luscious green arches that stretch for about 2.5 miles. Though it is still an active train line, this hidden gem is known more widely for being a favorite destination among couples in love.
The tunnel was built during the Soviet Era in the 1960s to transport military equipment. The birch trees that line the railway were planted to camouflage the tracks. After the Cold War ended, the railway fell into disrepair and the trees grew in an arch formation over the tracks.
