Geography Story: Places you will never be allowed to enter

Many of us like travelling. It is better once to see than hundred times to hear. However, there are places that are closed even for the most foolhardy travelers.

HAARP, USA

High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program is a research and development project initiated by the USA in 1997. The field is located in a non-residential area. There were a lot of talks that the researches conducted here are the reason for climate change and problems with satellites.

#2 Kronstadt

This Russian port attracts many visitors while there’re a lot of forts there. They were built to defend the town, which in its turn, was built to defend Saint Petersburg. Today you can visit the port but you are not allowed to enter any forts because it is not safe.

#3 Mount Athos, Greek Macedonia

This fantastic place is located in Greece. There are 20 monasteries but only men are allowed to enter the place.

#4 The place where the Coca Сola recipe is kept, Georgia, USA

The Coca Cola secret formula is a closely guarded secret. Only two people know it. No visitors are allowed to enter the place where the receipt of legendary drink is kept.

# 5 Motuo County, China

This place is located in Tibetan Autonomous Region. It is a unique mix of an unusual environment, untouched nature, peace and tranquillity. Actually, you can visit it but it’ll be not easy at all. There are no roads and you’ll have to go on foot through the wild mountains. There’s also a very long weak bridge over an abyss.

#6 Oymyakon, Russia

This is a place of real cold, one of the coldest on our planet where people live. So its climate keeps tourists away from the place. The coldest officially recorded temperature in Oymyakon is −67.7 C (−89.9 F)!

#7 Javari Tribe Reservation, Brazil

This tribe lives on the border of Peru and Brazil. People here avoid any contact with foreigners. They are said to be the descendants of slaves. This area was closed for tourists in order to protect the tribe.

#8 Cincinnati Subway, Ohio, USA

It is the largest subway tunnel system that is abandoned in the USA. Its construction was cancelled and never renewed. You can visit this place with a tour group once a year in May.

#9 Karakoram Highway

This road connects Pakistan and China. It is located at an altitude of 15,466 feet (5 kilometers). One could enjoy fantastic and breathtaking views here but unfortunately this highway is closed because of landslides and avalanches.

#10 Snake Island, Brazil

This island is home to many poisonous snakes including the most dangerous venomous reptiles in the world, the golden lancehead. No people live here and it is prohibited to come here.

Not inviting at all, very interesting and useful information, I definitely would not visit snake island 💯% NO, but I found the information about the coldest place in Russia interesting.

Yeah, and my world history professor said I’ll never live long enough to see a non-Italian pope! He’s been wrong 3 times now, it seems never isn’t as long as most people think.

Cincinnati Subway, Ohio, USA Seems interesting. Maybe Pennywise knows why it was cancelled.

Marian Spitzig

One of the Andaman islands Is inhabited by local people who shun all outsiders and kill any who land there. It is forbidden to do so, but now and again people do so and pay the ultimate price.

Went to Mount Athos in 1970,s = well worth the visit and see how they live in the rough environment.

I've been to Kronstadt, it is open for tourists, and beautiful. Being "not safe" is not the same as "forbidden". It is not much to see in these closed forts anyway, but main church is amazing.
