1. Kyiv waterfall
The water source is located on the territory of CHPP-5, which is located near the waterfall. A special canal runs through the territory of the tract, which runs from north to south and flows into the bed of the Dnieper. The length of the channel is approximately 2 km, and various fish are found almost everywhere. That is why the tract is often a favorite place for the capital's fishermen. The banks of the canal look quite picturesque, it is also quiet and calm here.
You can get to the waterfall on foot from the Vydubychi metro station (exit towards the Dnieper). Next, you need to go along the Capital Highway to a long green fence. In the fence (on the side of the road) there are gates. Enter the second gate, cross the fenced area and into the territory of the Pokol tract, you will see the open part of the canal (about 30 minutes from the metro station). Then go along the channel (on the right side) and run into a waterfall. We visit many interesting places on our excursions around Kyiv, come and learn more about the city.
