Introducing Zhytomyr
US Peace Corps volunteers who end up stationed in this city 100km west of Kyiv can’t stop raving about the place and it’s easy to see why. The Teteriv River cuts a deep slice through the city’s leafy southern edge, making zhytomyr something of an adventure-sports Mecca. On summery weekends, bungee jumpers fly off the Berdychivsky bridge, while a huge forest just across it provides quality terrain for mountain biking and hiking. That said, outside of Zhytomyr’s famous space museum there’s not too much to divert more sedentary types. A half-day is sufficient to cover the main sights.
