Bei Youtubern und anderen Hipstern habe ich häufiger schon so stylische Pixeluhren gesehen. Diese geben damit gerne mit ihren Youtube-Followerzahlen an (auch wenn diese eh immer direkt unter dem Video stehen…). Gemein haben sie alle, dass sie erstens immens teuer sind und zweitens von amerikanischen oder chinesischen Clouds abhängig sind. Vor Kurzem bin ich mit…
After visiting the Duga radar and control facility, we were going to explore the abandonded Zamoshna village. Because we got up very early in the morning to seize the early dusk hours, we were pretty hungry by now. Next step was to have breakfast. So we looked for the ruins of an old building to…
Back in the stalker flat, we prepared our stuff for moving out to the Duga radar and had dinner. That said, it was this moment, we realized we had no plan how (or where) to go to the toilet in Pripyat. Obviously, there is neither running water nor many undestroyed bathrooms. Our guide told us…
The next morning, we woke up in our Pripyat flat with some notable muscle ache. But I was a little bit relieved to hear that this even affected the other guys – who were in far better shape than me. Although I slept like a baby on a jacked up room door, I woke up…
After a restful sleep, we were supposed to hike the rest of the way to Pripyat. We were greeted by sun rays shining through various gaps in the roof, promising mild weather and wonderful views (and pictures) of the zone during daytime. Motivated by this, we packed up, left the attic and headed to an…
Finally the Chernobyl hike starts! Well, this is actually the 2nd day of the Ukraine trip. But it’s the 6th article in this series. Probably the one, you have been waiting for. Our guide picked us up from the hostel at 10 PM. Then we made a fuel stop and drove to our drop-off point…
After exploring the drainage system, we were put into an Uber that brought us to a location in Kyiv way closer to the city center. Slava lead us into the backyard of some houses and left us there. While he went to check for guards, we should not speak to the pidgeon. That’s at least…
It is not Chernobyl time, yet. But we will enter the Kyiv underground to explore the drainage system „Mykilska“ and a Soviet civil protection bunker. Both are very fascinating places, that are – although stuck in time – in pristine condition. We booked this tour before starting the trip. We were supposed to meet with…
Now I was sitting there, having committed to a multi-day hike through the Chernobyl exclusion zone. Despite having never been hiking before. I did do prolonged 20+ km walks in the past though. So I figured my feet would handle the trip – despite having flatfeet. Plus the chronic back pain that grounded me twice…
Hinweis: Wegen höherer Reichweite und dem internationalen Charakter der Reisegruppe, veröffentliche ich diese Chernobyl-Reiseberichte in Englisch. One of the trips planned for 2020, was targeted towards Chernobyl. Originally we were a group of 5 people who wanted to spend a week in the Ukraine and book a 2-day tour to the Chernobyl exclusion zone. But…
Freunde haben einen Teich im Garten, in dem Goldfische schwimmen. Trotz Umwälzpumpe mit UV-Röhre und Partikelfilter ist das Wasser verhältnismäßig trüb. Außerdem hat sich mit den Jahren relativ viel Schlamm am Grund angesammelt. Und dieser Schlamm fault auch vor sich hin, was für die Fische suboptimal ist. Nun sollte dieser mit einem Schlammsauger entfernt werden,…
Seit dem Redesign dieser Seite hier steht im Header u. A. auch das Schlagwort „Urban Exploration“ – in der Szene kurz UrbEx genannt. So richtig viel gab es dazu aber gar nicht zu entdecken. Weder hier auf dem Blog als auch in der Foto-Galerie – von einzelnen Fotos abgesehen. Bis jetzt – denn in den…
