One of those unique places in Ukraine where You can still meet ordinary Ukrainians. These elderly cow-breeders lead very simple honorable life of survivors. Gradually such villages will be extinct. Nature here is identical to utmost green & wild Chernobyl landscape. Except, unlike Chornobyl, people still do live here. You seek something very old-fashioned, unique and very authentic in amazing forest area: this destination is right for you. Inexpensive private hotels are easily found on the route from Kyiv, via Vyshgorod, Khotyanivka, Dubiechnia, Pirnovo and further village areas, via Desna military base. Otrohy resort is nearest hotel closest to destination. For those seeking sense of life. Rent a car, no other way to go there. Winter time is for spiritually strong. Beremytske WIldlife Park with animals, lakes (see photo) and comfortable economy accomodation is just 33 kms away from Otrokhy village. By crossing amasing picturesque bridge in Oster town over Desna river.

This beautiful landscape is barely touched by humans, but easily reachable by car from Kyiv. There are no services at the place, only the land itself. The litter is scarce, but on the weekends be prepared to see a lot of fishermen squatting the best spots at the riverbank!

Very beautiful and interesting place, it's worth to take a guided tour for advanced experience

Amazing nature, lots of mushrooms, but you should be aware of snakes. If you’re looking for virgin nature, you can find here different landscapes, sands and swamps and beautiful light forest with a carpet of green soft moss and it’s endless, in this place you feel very relaxed and comfortable. Grate place to pick up mushrooms! There is also a boat station on the Desna river where you can take motor boat and research the river which is also reach with fish. Unfortunately connection in this areas is almost absent.
