General information about Trukhaniv Island (Kyiv)

Trukhaniv Island is one of the most favorite vacation spots of Kyiv residents.

According to legend, the island was named after the Polovtsian khan Tuhorkhan, because at the end of the 11th century it was the residence of his daughter - the wife of the Kyiv prince Svyatopolk.

For a long time this land was uninhabited, from the 19th century it began to gain popularity as a recreation area with the Central Beach. In the 1950s, it was connected to the Right Bank of the Dnipro by a suspended pedestrian bridge, which vibrates noticeably underfoot when there is a large crowd of people.

Труханів острів - одне з найулюбленіших місць відпочинку киян.

За легендою, острів названо ім'ям половецького хана Тугорхана, оскільки наприкінці XI століття на ньому була резиденція його доньки - дружини київського князя Святополка.

Довгий час ця земля була безлюдною, з XIX століття стала набувати популярності як зона відпочинку з Центральним пляжем. У 1950-х роках була з'єднана з Правим берегом Дніпра підвісним Пішохідним мостом, який відчутно вібрує під ногами при великому скупченні народу.
