An exact upper estimate for the volume of a tubular neighborhood of a smooth submanifold $N$ of a complete Riemann space $M$ depending upon the volume of $N$ and lower bound for the sectional curvatures of $M$ is given. If $N$ is a closed geodesic, then the equality is attained in the estimate if and only if $M$ is a generalized lens space.
