Cute, handsome, lovely hedgehog, that is hidden in the center of Kyiv not far from Zoloti Vorota Metro Station, is my favourite sculpture. I've never seen someone like him while travelling in other countries. I wish we could have more such beautiful sculptures in Kiev. It is so nice that you want to hug him but be careful as it... More

Kiev has many great street sculptures. It's especially nice to stumble across them by accident. In winter the Hedgehog is warmed by a scarf - it is a truly loved little monument for the people.

Hedgehog in the Fog is a small monument made of nails based on a children's tale and shows that the Ukrainian's do not take themselves too seriously. It is situated down a sidestreet and not a tourist attraction as such, but quite cute.

I have photos of my wife and my daughter along the hedgehog and both of them are great souvenirs from Kiev. Close to the golden gate, SAS hotel, it is an interesting monument to visit. :-)

This small monument to a prize-winning Soviet cartoon the "Hedgehog in the Fog" is different. I recommend watching the cartoon before going to see the hedgehog. It made me tear up. I thought of innocence and cuteness when I... More

We stumbled upon this little monument by accident (just happened to be in the area). It brought a lot of nostalgia about little cartoon that featured the main character - the hedgehog lost in the fog. Watch the cartoon first (find it on YouTube).
