Tunnel of Love, Ukraine
The first tunnel I want to talk about is called 'Tunnel of Love' or 'Tunnel of Love'. The tunnel is built around a railway line between the villages of Kleven and Orziv in Ukraine. No one built it on purpose. During the post-World War II Cold War, numerous trees were planted in dense rows on either side of the railway line. The trees were planted to conceal the carrying of military camp weapons on the railways. But later the trees on both sides of the railway line grew, due to the regular train movement, the heads of the trees on both sides became one and took the shape of a tunnel.
It is very nice to see this tunnel in Ukraine. In Ukraine, the tunnel is arguably the most popular tourist destination in the world. Not only because of the beauty, but also because of the various rumors surrounding the tunnel, which is why many Ukrainian lovers and newlyweds come here to visit. It is believed that if you go to the tunnel and ask for something with the person you love, that wish is fulfilled.
Wisteria Tunnel, Japan
There is a tunnel in the Kawachi Fuji Garden in Kitakiyasur, Japan, called the Wisteria Tunnel. Walking through the tunnel due to the variety of wisteria flowers, anyone can think of themselves as the princes or princesses of fairy tales lost in the flower garden.
With 150 species of wisteria trees, a combination of more than 20 different colored flowers has given the tunnel an abundance of color. The description of the beauty of the colorful and ornate westeria flowers growing around the metal mesh is indescribable. This flower blooms between April and May. So, April-May is the best time to see the beauty of this tunnel in Kawachi Fuji Garden, Japan.
Jacquardandas Walk, South Africa
Johannesburg, South Africa's largest city, has been greened by more than a million small trees growing here. According to many, Johannesburg is the largest and most man-made forest in the world. There are at least 49 species of jacquardandas. Most of its origins are in South America and the Caribbean. These tropical trees were brought to South Africa more than a century ago. Nowadays, it would not be wrong to call the Jacquardandas the most important species of tree in South Africa.
Every year in October, thousands of Jacquardandas trees bloom. At that time Johannesburg and Pretoria became cities of purple Jacquardandas flowers. The combination of more than seventy thousand Jacquardandas trees in those cities creates an extraordinary natural beauty, which is incomparable.
U Tunnel (UK)
It is believed that the famous Dyer family of the United States planted this particular type of tree in the U-Tunnel in the eighteenth century. The trunks of these trees have thickened and merged with each other, and the branches have merged in such a way that it is now almost impossible to separate them.
The trees, which have been growing for about two and a half centuries, have formed tunnels with curved U-shaped shapes. This tree may not have been planted for the purpose of making tunnels. The tunnels are made naturally. Yet this tunnel is known as one of the few famous tunnels in the world. Many days old traditions and distinctive features of the trees have given the tunnel uniqueness.
