What are the secrets hidden underground river? Such different natural attractions ...

Running underground natural springs are always of great interest to tourists. Hidden from the eyes of the people of the river have a special charm, but every year the increasing stream of guests violates the pristine beauty of amazing places.

Pride of the Philippines

The world's largest underground river, Puerto Princesa, is considered the main pride of the Philippines. The natural miracle that flows in the karst cave is a huge labyrinth, in which it is easy to get lost without the help of a guide. Walking along the river many kilometers long will give everyone unforgettable emotions. Mysterious grottoes, cave dark vaults, playing with different shades when light hits them, quietly babbling small waterfalls, a huge number of river channels - all this leads to a real delight of travelers who come here from all corners of the globe.

A subterranean river, admiring with a unique landscape, has not yet been fully explored and contains secrets that give it a special appeal. Sailing on a boat among the miraculous beauties, tourists feel themselves in a real natural temple, the fragile grandeur of which no photo can transmit.

Mexican River

Another amazing attraction is located in Mexico. In the labyrinths of underground caves of the tropical jungle, on the Yucatan Peninsula, the underground river formed more than 65 million years ago after the meteorite fall. Only 27 years ago it was discovered by scuba divers, after which a large-scale study of this place began. Sak-Aktun, recognized as the longest river in the world, contains a lot of useful minerals. In surprisingly transparent water, tourists are immersed in order to experience the beauty of this natural place.

The river, stretching for 317 kilometers, connects underground passages, considered by local residents as the real world of the dead. From the beauty seen, which is composed of many legends, it is easy to lose the gift of speech.

The capital attraction

In Russia, too, has its own attraction, which can be called a unique phenomenon: many people have heard about it, but few have seen it. Many do not even suspect that to this day there is an underground river in Moscow.

Its name, according to the majority of historians, comes from the word "non-clay", which means "swamp". True, some researchers consider this statement unreliable. The river that interfered with the comfortable life of people was hidden in a concrete collector.

The history of a river grounded underground

For the first time Neglinka is mentioned in the ancient chronicles of the city at the beginning of the XV century. Deep, up to 25 meters, it was of great importance for Moscow. Water from the passing through the central part of the city was taken to extinguish fires, and it was filled with a moat that ran along the Kremlin.

However, by the middle of the 18th century, with the growth of industry, there was a serious pollution of Neglinka, which exuded an unbearable stench. It was decided to make a river in a pipe, but the collectors could not cope, and in high floods the river flooded the streets. In a subterranean cloak, there were special pipes carried by city services for rainwater, but rich merchants lowered the sewage into secret drains, and did not take them out in barrels, as was customary. After flooding, the water left, leaving a foul-smelling silt.

In 1966, a second collector with concrete vaults appeared, and the water from Neglinka now enters the Moscow River.

Gloomy stories

Since ancient times it is believed that the underground Moscow river that has accumulated black energy returns it to people. They say that during the reign of Catherine not far from Neglinka was a secret organization. In the casemates, the institutions brutally tortured people, and their corpses disappeared without a trace in the dark waters.

Another legend tells of the brutal Saltychikha with an ugly appearance that hated all women. The landlord, who killed more than a hundred serf girls, believed that the underground river has a magical power that will help her realize her main dream. At midnight she washed the waters, whispering conjuring conspiracies and believing that the next morning will find the long-awaited beauty. Not having received the desired Saltychikha again created bloody outrage.

This is only a small part of the traditions of the river and its curse. In Moscow, to this day, the ground is falling, and hydrologists say that the water of Neglinka has a terrible force: it corrodes concrete and even solid steel. In the area of the Kuznetsk bridge, under which the fetid river turned into a source of evil, often see ghosts and hear a strange whisper.

Fashionable extreme excursions

Leaving its mark in the names of Moscow streets and lanes, the underground river of Moscow, the photo of which conveys an eerie atmosphere, keeps many mysteries. Recently, the study of underground reservoirs has become an incredibly fashionable hobby, and to get into a special world, beckoning mysterious beauty, local diggers help.

Do you want to know what hides the asphalt under your feet? You can go on an extreme journey through the underground channel of the river, about which many legends are composed. However, experts warn that it can be deadly, because during the rain the water level in the reservoir rises rapidly, and such a walk can end tragically.
