Прип'ять - місто-примара, законсервоване в 1986 році після аварії на Чорнобильській атомній електростанції та створення 30-кілометрової зони відчуження.

Засноване в 1970 році для проживання будівельників та обслуговуючого персоналу ЧАЕС, яка була запущена в 1984 році. На момент катастрофи населення Прип'яті становило 49 тисяч осіб. Після вибуху на станції всі жителі міста були відселені. На в'їздах встановлені блок-пости, відвідування можливе лише за спецперепустками.

Незважаючи на посилену охорону, протягом багатьох років місто потроху зазнавало мародерського розграбування.

Місто-примара вражає уяву нечисленних відвідувачів моторошними картинами застиглого часу та руїн, що поглинаються природою.

Проводяться організовані екскурсії з Києва.

Chornobyl NPP

Historic area

The Chornobyl nuclear power plant was closed in 2000 due to the pressure of the world public on the leadership of Ukraine.

In 1986, the largest man-made accident in world history occurred at the 4th power unit of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant, which resulted in radiation contamination of large areas of Ukraine and Belarus. A protective sarcophagus was built over the destroyed power unit.

Visiting is possible only with special passes. Excursions from Kyiv are organized.
