High-energy (10-30 GeV) neutrino sources which can be detected by underground detectors with an area of about 100 sq m are discussed in this paper. It is shown that the horizon of these detectors is limited to our Galaxy. The main process in the detection of neutrino sources, i.e., production of high-energy muons in nu(mu)N-mu(X) scattering, is studied in detail. Single sources (young supernova shells and supergiants fed by an active pulsar) and binary sources (young pulsar and giant, supernova explosion in a binary system, etc.) are found to be able to produce a detectable neutrino flux. Special attention is given to Cyg X-3. Finally, it is shown that the possibility of detecting neutrinos from solar flares on the opposite side of the sun can be ruled out on the grounds of gamma-ray observations.
