In June 2007 we visited Chernihiv (Russian spelling: Chernigov) in a daytrip from the Ukrainian capital Kiev. We went there by train and left Chernihiv by bus, therefore we saw a lot of the rural region between Kiev and Chernihiv.
Chernihiv was first mentioned in the 10th century and is therefore one of the oldest Russian towns on the territory of the present Ukraine. It is situated on the bank of the Desna River which flows into the Dnieper River. The population of Chernihiv is just below 300.000 people.
Due to its ancient history, Chernihiv is home to many sights of history and architecture like orthodox churches, cathedrals, cloisters and monasteries, some of which can already be seen from far away.

Holger, deine Seite ist wirklich schön! Ich muss mal auch nach Chernihiv! | BillNJ Wed May 28, 2008 10:57 UTC
Interesting page! There certainly seems to be enough churches there, don't you think? Also, it appears that they overcharge for public toilets considering what they provide. | jeoren Sat Oct 6, 2007 08:49 UTC
Well, this was an interesting city as well as Pripyat. Why didnt you visit Chernobyl actually? | MikeAtSea Sat Jul 28, 2007 12:13 UTC
Brilliant introduction of an unusual destination! Will have a look to explore the Ukraine next year. Michael |
