A group of guys from St. Petersburg wanted to visit Pripyat under cover of the night with no guides and someone’s control. They wanted to see the abandoned buildings, to enter any of them and to observe the wild nature swallowing the city. Pictures of their journey are inside the post.

Must be cool to stay overnight at such a spooky place!

Morning preparations.

In fact no signs or barbed wire show where the exclusion zone starts.

It seems that the railway was replaced some years ago.

Station building.

Abandoned factory shops.

Quite probably you may meet a wolf here.

Kliviny.

The dam built by beavers.

This is why the adjacent forest became flooded.

The guys are not afraid to drink this water.

This was a house of a pointsman.

Inside.

Another station building.

Let’s come inside.

One of administrative rooms.

Controller’s office.

The room with sound insulation.

It’s time to rest and have a snack.

Krasnitsa station.

Night in the station house.

Next room is a kitchen.

Trying to get some water.

Abandoned summer houses.

Remains of old locomotives.

A new sarcophagus being built in the city.

The guys are tired and need to sleep now.
