This once picturesque river is hidden deep under the asphalt in the slums of Solomianka. In the old days, for the first time in Ukraine, a hot air balloon was launched on its banks, and high church hierarchs and future military officers rested nearby. That is why the stream and the forest park near it were called Cadet's Grove. Years passed, the rivers were encased in concrete, and the trees were cut down. It would seem that the story is over. But now you have a unique opportunity to touch the forgotten legend and see the historic river with your own eyes as a digger - a brave dungeon explorer!
