Cherepashinets quarry, Vinnytsia region
It is difficult to call this quarry unknown, but the fact that it is very good place. The combination of clear blue water, rocky shores, white sand and pine forest creates an incredible impression. You can swim in the quarry. If you are going here in the summer, it is better to go on weekdays, as there are a lot of people on weekends.
Sandy quartz quarry in the village of Novoselovka, Kharkiv region
This quarry is one of the largest in Ukraine, sand has been mined here since the 30s of the 20th century. The quarry is still working, there is security on the territory, swimming is prohibited. But this place has been visiting not for swimming. Locals and tourists are attracted by the incredible sand dunes, among which very good photos come out.
Stone quarry in the Turka town, Lviv region
On the outskirts of Turka, near the border with Poland, there is a stone quarry with very good blue water. The quarry is not working now, but you cannot swim in it because of the dangerous bottom. The lake is surrounded by picturesque green hills.
