context_page_description: Kiev Mountains or Kiev Hills is a term used in journalism and literature for hills and highlands around the city of Kiev that range from approximately 150 to almost 200 meters. The city of Kiev is located within borders of three orographic regions: Dnieper Upland and Polesian and Dnieper lowlands. The hills are located in northern part of the Kiev plateau where the Dnieper Upland slopes down towards the Dnieper river valley and the Kiev Polesia. The highest marks recorded in central and southwestern parts of the city.
  Hilly landscape is the reason for the unusual depths and two-fold escalators of underground Kiev Metro stations in the city center.
