Green destinations around the world are often formed from their own natural beauty, and the Tunnel of Love in Ukraine is no different. 

As an abandoned section of the industrial railway just outside Klevan, the beautifully green destination has gained a reputation as a good luck charm for people’s love life, hence the name. The plant made tunnel is also a spectacular place to walk and is worth adding to the list for future travels.
