Хороший день / Dobryi den’ / Hi,

Welcome to the fourth post (aka part fourth) dedicated to our little travelling across Ukraine. My previous posts sort of covered the Chernobyl power plant, Duga Radar, and other places of the Exclusion zone. In this contribution, we explore the city of Pripyat (Ukraine). What did we see? Check it out in this post😉


Before we enter the city, our ride stops here. Red Forest behind the tracks.

Why Red? Well, high radiation burnt local trees, so they turned their color to red. Also, our radiometer signals higher than usual values of radiation if you keep walking towards Red Forest.
