Mykilska
drain system
With an experienced URBEX guide, you will go to explore the drain tunnel system “Mykilska”, which was finished in 1916 by the Russian Empire’s engineering forces. For almost a century, this ancient tunnel system under the central Kyiv had been forgotten till the 1990s, when a group of Kyiv urban explorers has found it.
The Drain tunnels system is not a sewer! NO RATS, NO SEWER. The water inside the system is clean and can be drunk; an amazing atmosphere of ancient underground tunnels will make you feel an explorer!
Askoldova
Drain system
Drain system “Askoldova” is a technogenic labyrinth 5 kilometres long on 4 levels up to 60 meters deep underground. Types of tunnels are very similar because of all they had been built in the 1970s. This system is also wetter than “Mykilska ”.
Exploring Askoldova tunnels system in action: changing levels by ladders, with clean water waterfalls, echo on the bottom of 33 meters deep shaft – there is Askoldova and Kyiv style of underground urban exploration.
Some tunnels are narrow, so be ready to touch them by your back or elbows and have some clay left on your clothes. This clay can be easily washed off even with clean water, but try not to wear new and white clothes and shoes when going to the underground tour.
Temperature underground is constant, about +12 Celsius, so wear something like hoodie or light jacket.
The price for the Kyiv Underground Tour is 19 EUR per person if going in a group. In case we don’t have scheduled groups on your dates, you can order this tour on request.
