Hello, I'm looking for quicksand fans from Central Europe (Poland,Czech Republic,Slovakia,Ukraine) who can tell me something about quicksand locations in their countries.

Hi! I'm from Ukraine. Thank you for adding us to Central Europe! It's our dream which hardly can come true...

Some time ago I've started a topic here about a marshlands in Ukraine: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2814&start=0

If we want to speak about real quicksand, well, it exists on dredged beaches of the rivers, and as I heard it exists on the natural sandy banks of Dnieper where it flows into the Black Sea. Dredged beaches were usual thing many years ago, but now shipping on our rivers almost stopped, and dredging of fairways became rare thing. They do dump dredged sand as a base for construction, but I don't think such places are appropriate for sinking. (However, very likely they are appropriate for serious accidents, I have heard about such accidents 40 years ago, but not recently)

I know here are guys from Hungary and Czech Republic, but they write comments rather rarely...
There’s so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones
