Trees in the forest became frighteningly red and their radioactive glow could be seen in the night, because of the radioactive substances ejection into the atmosphere.
As a result of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, a huge forest area of 10 square kilometers was affected by the radioactive outburst. At night it was possible to observe the red radioactive glow of trees.
Then the disaster management team decided to demolish the trees and bury them on the place. This decision was hestile, because the forest was very close to the groundwaters so the burial of the remains of trees on the place increased the risk of radiating the Dnipro and Pripyat river basins.
The catastrophe also destroyed the historical monument "pine-cross", where Soviet partisans were hanged during the German occupation. It was located directly on the edge of the Chernobyl Red Forest.
By this time, the tree species have already partially recovered and the forest looks almost natural. On the territory of the forest an experimental polygon is developed to study the effect of radionuclides on objects in an isolated ecosystem.
An amazingly tempting and simultaneously frightening place, which has become popular thank to many games and movies - is truly worthy of its reputation.
