The desolate ghost town
I visited this ghost town back in 2012 during the freezing mid-winter with Italians, Canadian. Once explorers face these buildings, they must have shouted “****!!! Too vast!!!! From where I have to go!?!!???” It’s vast, indeed. The desolate atmosphere surrounded by forests had its own breathtaking beauty. You could see so many abandoned apartments continuing all the way up the hill but streets leading to it were covered by overgrown grass.
