It's 35 years since the explosion of reactor no. 4 at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, in what was to become the biggest nuclear tragedy in history.
The large area surrounding the plant was considered a restricted zone until 2011.
Since then it can be visited on defined and controlled routes with tourists.
I have illustrated this folded map for "Orte der Geschichte e.V.", showing the special sites within the restricted zone - the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, the ghost town of Prypyat and the DUGAradar among others - as well as information about the catastrophe itself and details about the current visiting possibilities.
