Romantic Tunnel of Love in Klevan 

There never lived kings or princesses never occurred dramatic historical events. This memorial tour earned recognition for its beauty alone. Beauty created by the magic of the world's greatest architect - Nature. A story here doing romance. Every day, those who come here in search of love. After all, they say, here it is and lives. Wandering in the long track rides then green, then purple-red, the golden branches. If you want to find love - need only ask, standing here. This place is called - Tunnel of Love.

 Botanical phenomenon - "live" green tunnel in the forest, formed thickets of trees and shrubs. Interwoven together branches and leaves, they look like a tunnel accurate arched shape . Said arch has a symbolic meaning. Those who have visited here, tell a very strong aura that you can feel. A track on two rails - a symbol of the way as if two lives. If a lone man standing in this tunnel, make a wish to find your soul mate, it will come true. Couples are asked in the fate of eternal love. Indeed, it is difficult to resist, not to make a wish when you stand like the middle of a fairy tale. It all seems somehow magically ...The legend of the love and light of night lights in the forestThey say that this story happened in the early twentieth century. Then the track that will lead to the Orzhiv (a nearby village) to Klevan was only plans. To design the railroad in this locality was not easy: it was necessary to demolish many buildings, expand patrol. An unexpected idea came to mind a young Polish engineer. He proposed to lay an iron blade straight - through the forest. Customers project did not suspect that it was just an engineer shortest direct route to his girlfriend ...

She lived in Klevan and went to the Orthodox Church. And to his misfortune fell in love with a Polish Catholic (the same engineer) than not a little outraged parents. They were strongly against a pair of meetings.

The boy lived in Orzhiv and came to a secret meeting with his beloved bicycle. But when fate threw chance to create a direct path between two villages, he frantically went to work.

Track hitch and went straight and she looked like green tunnel in the forest. To communicate at a distance lovers learned Morse code and evenings using lamps secretly sent each other messages encrypted shone confessions. With binoculars in the forest straight tunnels were perfectly visible light signs up three kilometers from boy to girl. His - from Orzhiv and her - from Klevan. So they talked, forgetting the prohibition of parents and not thinking about what people say.

And then life separated them, paving its way back to Poland, but it - to the heart of another. They say everyone lived a happy life, and to remember the late romantic story of his youth.

Prosaic version ...

In fact, the railway engineers from prying eyes hidden purpose. Once in nearby villages were military base, through which resorted to taking masking zasadyvshy forest road . Time passed, the military base on the backburner. People stopped to trim trees around the track, allowing the very nature of farm forest estates. Year after year it okutuvala road branches until they formed a real live cave of unbelievable beauty.

This miracle of nature extends to the segment of railway track leading from the village to the village of Klevan Orzhiv , about 4 kilometers . Trees continue to grow, weaving branches more and more closely, if they do not wake train that rushes in from the direction of the local plant.
