Mezhgorye, Russia

If you have any plans of doing a town to town journey in the Southern part of the Ural Mountains in Russia, we suggest you stay away from the town of Mezhgorye. It is the only closed town in Russia, and local authorities have forbidden anyone from going in or out of the town. Even if you have a good lawyer, we doubt that you’ll be granted access within the town’s vicinity.

This place was found during the late ’70s, and a lot of rumors surfaced back then that the town was a storage point of the country’s weapons. Others suggest that there are precious gas and minerals that can be found near the town’s vicinity. There may be a secret base, and no one knows what exactly is being studied, only the parties in it know best. Whatever the case may be, it is better to respect local laws to prevent any further issues.
