Route "Obolon - Obvodny Canal"

  Starting at the yacht club on Obolon, the route goes up the Dnieper river bed, along the Muromets Island to the very mouth of the Desna River. Leaving the mouth of the Desna on the right, and the island of Veliky on the left side, we enter the channel of the Obvodny Canal.

Description of the resting place

  During the construction of the Kiev hydroelectric power station, the main channel of the Dnieper River was blocked, and the mighty waters of the main artery of Ukraine were directed along a bypass canal. The bypass canal stretches along the left bank of the Kiev reservoir for 77 kilometers, and its depth in some places reaches 7 meters. Despite the fact that this is an artificial structure, now the canal looks like a real river, with picturesque banks and clear water. Not all motor ships and yachts can enter the canal from behind the road bridge near the hydroelectric power station, but those who can find themselves in an extremely interesting water area.
