Adziogol Hyperboloid Lighthouse
The Adziogol lighthouse near the village of Rybalche is a unique hyperboloid structure created in 1911 by the engineer and scientist Volodymyr Shukhov, the author of the Shabolovka TV tower in Moscow.
The lighthouse is located on an artificial island near Cape Adziogol in the Dnipro estuary. It is a vertical mesh metal structure 70 meters high, made in the form of a single-cavity hyperboloid of rotation.
It is the tallest lighthouse of traditional construction in Ukraine and the 16th tallest in the world.
You can climb a spiral staircase inside a metal pipe to the observation deck of the Adziogol lighthouse, which offers a large panorama of the estuary (official tours are not conducted).
Another smaller Shukhov lighthouse is located nearby.
