🚂 The Didinsky Tunnel

This is a one-kilometer-long tunnel, built in 1918 in the Sverdlovsk region. Admiral Kolchak's trains used it to transport his army and gold reserves, and until 1995, all regular trains passed through it.

Later, Russian Railways grew tired of clearing ice from the tracks (the tunnel is very damp) and rerouted the line away from it. Now it's an attraction for urbex enthusiasts and those trying to cope with claustrophobia by facing their fear head-on.

The tunnel has beautiful entrance portals that resemble medieval fortress towers with crenellations and embrasures.

The length of this abandoned tunnel is 1,123 meters. It is slightly curved, but you can still see right through it. According to some reports, it was dug from both sides simultaneously, and the two ends failed to meet up perfectly.
