How to climb to the secret station Duga radar in Chernobyl
If you do not imagine your life without extreme and you love to tickle your nerves, then climbing up to the old, rusty, fairly collapsed radar tower is an adventure just for you.

How to do?

1. Go to the Chernobyl-2 facility, it's easy to find on the map.
2. The radar is a bit dismantled, and the instruction is kind of shabby, so be careful.
3. Oddviser categorically does not recommend daredevils to risk your live and climb up a fairly worn-out construction.
