Kamianske

Kamianske is a city that makes a mixed impression. Some see it as an industrial giant, a factory city that impresses with its industrial might. Yet from a tourism point of view, it is not only a promising direction for exploration, but also an opportunity to discover the city from another side.

Kamianske was founded in 1750. From 1956 to 2016 it bore the name Dniprodzerzhynsk in honor of the Soviet state and party figure F. Dzerzhynsky, who, by the way, never visited the city once. The largest industrial facilities are concentrated in the right part of the city, so only 1/3 of the city's population lives here.

Many prominent figures are associated with the history of Kamianske: former president of the USSR L. Brezhnev, president of the Republic of Kazakhstan N. Nazarbayev, vice prime minister O. Dubyna, H. Boholubov — a millionaire who is among the 5 richest people in Ukraine according to Forbes. However, the city is known not only for its natives and strong industrial potential, but also for places worth tourists' attention. The Tunnel of Love, formed near the Dniprobud railway crossing, impresses with its beauty and creates unforgettable romantic impressions. Blue Lake is the main place for relaxation on hot days. St Nicholas Church is one of the unique decorations of Kamianske.
