People ride bicycles as they explore the new cycling route across the Chornobyl, site of the world’s worst nuclear accident, on Sept. 21, 2020. Ukraine has recently launched its first cycling route across the exclusion zone which makes traveling around the abandoned and magnifying Chornobyl more accessible for tourists.
The site of the world’s worst nuclear accident, Chornobyl, doesn’t seem like an obvious choice for travelers, yet it has been one of Ukraine’s top tourist attractions for years.
Until now, visitors had to explore the 2,600-square-kilometer area either by car or on foot.
