Description

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Pripyat, Pripyat, Kiev Oblast

We stop on the main city square in Pripyat, before taking a roughly 2-hour walk through the empty streets of this ‘ghost city.’
Along the way we’ll see the partially collapsed School No. 1, the highly radioactive hospital, the river port and the famous Pripyat Café; the Prometheus Cinema, the football stadium and the unused Ferris wheel, the swimming pool, and Hotel Polissya: which served as a base for the Soviet nuclear physicists sent in to examine the Zone after the accident.

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Duga Radar Russian Woodpecker, Chernobyl Ukraine

The military base known as Chernobyl-2 was a top-secret facility built around the massive Duga-1 Radar Antenna: a transmitter
measuring 150 meters high, and 1 km in length. Designed to detect incoming ballistic missiles, the object was nicknamed the ‘Russian Woodpecker’ due to the tapping noise it transmitted across radio frequencies. Today it remains as one of the most impressive Cold War artifacts anywhere in Ukraine.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Chernobyl, Chernobyl, Kiev Oblast

Today Chernobyl Town is the administrative center of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone – featuring admin buildings, a police station, fire station, several hotels and restaurants, plus grocery stores. We’ll stop to visit the Third Angel monument, a memorial complex incorporating
a map of the Exclusion Zone along with nameplates of all the abandoned villages from the region.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Semykhody Station, Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine

The State Fire and Rescue Unit 2-DPRZ GTU of the Ministry of Taxes and Duties of Ukraine, earlier - ППЧ-17 for the protection of Chernobyl. The functions of the fire department are performed at the present time.
Firefighters ППЧ-17 arrived to extinguish a fire at the fourth power unit on the night of April 26, along with firefighters of Polesye ППЧ-31, only a little later than firefighters of the Pripyat SVPCh-6 and station ВПЧ-2, in the first hour of the accident.
Nowadays, it is also known for its makeshift “zoo” arranged by firefighters on the territory of the unit. In different years, young wild boar, wolf, fox, raccoon dog, red deer, Przhevalsky horse and other animals found in the forests of Chernobyl went and raised. Some of them took root in part, others were safely transferred to the zoos of Ukraine.
