Lybid river natural stream bed, Protected natural stream bed in Kyiv, Ukraine.
The natural stream bed extends for 0.3 hectares along the Lybid River, maintaining ecological systems within the urban landscape of Kyiv.
The Lybid River, first documented in 968 during the Pecheneg siege of Kyiv, served as a natural defensive barrier for the developing city.
The name originates from Lybid, the sister of Kyiv's three founding brothers Kyi, Shchek, and Khoryv, according to regional mythology.
The protected section of the river flows through concrete channels near the railway lines southeast of Kyiv's central station.
The natural stream bed represents one of the few remaining visible segments of the Lybid River, which now flows mainly through underground tunnels.
