Tour Itinerary
For extreme sports enthusiasts, we offer a tourist route “Underground Chernivtsi”. This is an almost 2-hour excursion route through an underground drainage tunnel. The length of the tunnel is 1.5 km, depth is 40 m.
The tunnel was built during the Soviet era to drain groundwater from the central part of the city. It was laid by specialists from Kyivmetrobud. The construction cost almost a million rubles at the time. The entrance and exit of the tunnel are marked with the letter “M” and connect Nakhimov and Gagarin streets in Chernivtsi.
58 wells have been drilled into the tunnel (15 of them are currently operational), through which groundwater flows down, from where the water underfoot is taken, the level of which reaches above the ankle in some places.
In the tunnel you can also see real stalactites, stalagmites, and even cave pearls, oolites.
The entire crossing is safe. It is impossible to get lost there, as there are no branches.
Before going underground, everyone receives the necessary equipment – rubber boots, a helmet with a flashlight, and a pair of gloves.
