If you are overweight, it is not for you. People with claustrophobia, fear of closed spaces is also best not phatysya. Like mingled on hygiene. The rest can take a chance. It is a journey collectors Ivano-Frankivsk. "Reporter" saw firsthand what it is - down to the level of urban sewage.
Without the ground wire is not necessary to climb. Our guide was a young boy, who called himself Diggers Jura. Diggers, slash derived from the English "kopatel" slash - means a person who travels artificial cave. Not to be confused with cavers exploring the natural caves.
For pidasfaltnyh slash walks must have outfit. First of all - protect feet from the water. slash For this ideal set of chemical protection suit L-1. Rubber pants above the waist let you freely roam the flooded underground passages. Cheaper alternative "Elk" (she pulls on the market at 200 USD.) Is another Soviet OZK "obschevoyskovoy protective kit". From his suit stockings reaching above the knee. If not deep, you can pass.
Nor do without a flashlight. To have your hands free, so better to take that clings to the head. I advise you to take extra batteries. Gloves also come in handy. In any case, have to hold on to walls, rusty pipes and clamps, etc. E. You can also grab the mask, especially in the summer ...
One of the entrances to the collector is located near the dam on the waterfront. The exact location is not known, to young adventurers on their own ass doth not rushed to conquer the secret world. Although, who should, and so he shall know of the inputs slash / outputs.
"If it rains, you might collector wave. This is when all the pipes in the manifold simultaneously receives large flows of water. Then he quickly flooded. A few years ago in Kiev, during heavy rains, covered group Diggers. Their bodies were then've been looking for. "
However horizon clears, we decide to climb. In concrete dam turns black hole. We were there. Quickly dress outfit. I got "Elk", but fellow Roman stockings pulled from OZK. What then sorry.
The first meters, bent in half, are moving in a concrete box, the floor of which is covered with a thick layer of something dark. Hopefully, then silt. More wall and concrete pipe meter diameter. Fortunately dry. George gallantly forward pass. We'll have to crawl into the unknown. My head is spinning one - and if outside shower has already begun and is about to come fro collector wave? It is not something that upovzty, scared no time.
Finally, damn "gut" ends well get into the square slash from which depart in different directions drain pipe. Here the water up to his knees. Metal fittings slash almost to the top covered with cobwebs some rags. This indicates that the water rises up to the ceiling here. So collector wave - it does not empty chatter.
Diggers George steadily moving into another concrete pipe. It is much higher than the previous one, with about half a meter, thus becoming cancer is no longer required. Go have knee-deep in water, even against the current. slash I do not advise especially to look straight at his feet - there just is not a trout swims.
But the peculiar smell in the dungeon almost there. The collector is well ventilated, so zlovonni slash miasma do not have time to accumulate. Although then when we got out to the surface and went for a beer, cafe visitors to us strange kosylysya ... people are not afraid of rats
And now we find ourselves in another tunnel. It is so high that you can go to the full height. Theoretically there even traveled to passenger car without problems. Dimensions tunnel about three meters in width and two heights.
Who built it? Online water utility write that actively constructed sewer system Poles - in 1924-1933 years. slash Perhaps, in the center of it is true, but on the periphery of the collector expressly laid Soviets.
Here is the underground dwellers. Along the walls of the tunnel walk freely rats, occasionally pereplyvayuchy on the opposite shore. Of course, slash we could reward horror stories about giant mutant rats, and so no one will check, but why? Rats - a rat the size of a man's wrist, very nice, we are not paying any attention.
"This car bump on manholes - says George. - Now we go in Galician, towards the center. " On the walls of every 100 meters painted red pointers. It also tried Diggers. The total length of the high tunnel more than 600 meters.
Underfoot happens more and more stones, and later seen in front of some spacing. slash Here in November 2013 collapsed part of the collector. Kommunalschiki all quickly corrected, propping concrete blocks with steel reinforcement. slash On the surface it is in the area of road in front of the People's House Kniahinin.
After the emergency zone water significantly increased. Feet on the ankle vtopayut something soft. But why "something"? In himself - in shit. Guide says that after the collapse of the dam is formed, to which inflicted a bunch of happiness. And now it has to knead. By the way, along the "tour" we saw a few places where concrete slash walls much pokryshyly
