The Tunnel of Love

In Kleven, Ukraine is located the beautiful and famous Tunnel of Love. Once it was just an ordinary train track but as time passed trees spread all over growing around the rails of the train eventually forming a tunnel shape. The tunnel itself measures to about 1.8 miles long. There is a legend that if two people love each other and cross the tracks while holding hands, they will be granted one wish. Sophomore Brooke Robbins from St. David's School  says, "I do not believe in this legend because a tunnel can't decide your fate for you." Whether or not this legend is true or not, no one can deny its unusual, natural and spontaneous beauty. That is why Bored Panda magazine voted it as  one of the "twenty-two unbelievable places that are hard to believe really exist." See for yourself the amazing Tunnel of Love!
