Everyone is used to the fact that Kryvyi Rih is an industrial city, which means there is nothing to see there. Yes, indeed, Kryvyi Rih is one of the most powerful industrial centers, but this is its advantage, not its disadvantage. And it is the industry in Kryvyi Rih that can become a very interesting object for tourism. Today, there are several places worth visiting in order to feel, understand this powerful city with factories at its heart.
So, industrial tourism has been developing well in Krivoy Rog in recent years. It has become so popular that even foreigners want to visit the city, and this is a big breakthrough for Kryvyi Rih. The main site worth visiting is the Iron Ore Quarry of the Southern Ore Mining and Processing Plant. It is one of the largest in the world, with a depth of 400 meters, a width of 2.5 kilometers and a length of 3 kilometers. Visitors are offered to go up to the observation deck to see how the equipment works and what are the subtleties of all the processes that take place during the extraction of iron ore. By the way, there is also a factory museum on the territory. There you can see an interactive exhibition that tells about how ore is mined, from blasting to transportation.
Also in Kryvyi Rih there is another interesting industrial place that tourists can visit - the enterprise "ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih". This is a mining and metallurgical plant that produces coke. Visitors can see the whole process, which is also very interesting.
By the way, in this industrial city there are not only quarries, but also mines. The Rodina mine became open to tourists. It is one of the first in terms of salable ore reserves. Fossils are found at a depth of up to 3 kilometers. And you can go down there, however, only individually and after appropriate instructions. But it's worth it, because you can see underground work, about which most have a rather vague idea.
Also, a 100-meter high pile-up mine is open for tourists. It can be visited at once by the whole group. This is also an interesting place, because it offers a panoramic view and you can see both the industrial zone itself and most of Krivoy Rog.
If we talk about the highest points of the city, among them is the "Burshchitsky dump", which can be visited as a tourist. From this place you can see absolutely the whole Kryvyi Rih.
The “Krivoy Rog Metro Tram” can also be attributed to local interests. The peculiarity of these trams is that they partially run through tunnels, although they are not a subway. The city has four underground stations and seven ground stations. By trams, you can travel to different parts of the city, look at the neighborhoods and discover Krivoy Rog from a new side. And if you visit the city in spring and autumn, you should also go to the central Metallurgov Avenue and look at the largest flower clock in the world. Their diameter is as much as 22 meters.
Odessans, who are accustomed to ancient architecture and boat trips, may find Kryvyi Rih quite interesting, thanks to its industrial enterprises. Therefore, if you are going to Kryvyi Rih and have free time, you can visit those interesting places that we talked about.
