Klevan

Klevan is an urban-type settlement positioned along the Stubla River in western Ukraine, covering approximately 54.6 square kilometers at an elevation of 218 meters above sea level with a population of around 7,650 residents.

Founded in 1458 and first documented as a possession of the prominent Czartoryski family, Klevan received Magdeburg rights from King John II Casimir Vasa in 1654, allowing the establishment of markets and fairs.

The settlement reflects diverse Ukrainian, Polish, and Russian heritage through its traditional festivals, Orthodox Christian religious practices, and preserved crafts that have been passed down through generations of local families.

Klevan is accessible via national roads H22 and T1817 from major cities like Rivne and Lutsk, offering essential amenities including schools, post office, local markets, and a railway station providing regional connectivity.

The famous Tunnel of Love, a railway section enclosed by intertwined trees forming a natural canopy, has gained worldwide recognition as one of the most romantic and photographed railway tunnels globally.
