About Polissya.today

Polissya.today is a travel guide and news site about Polissia — a land of forests, rivers and marshes. We tell you what to see, where to go, where to fish and what is happening in towns and communities.

What we write about

Polissia covers six regions of Ukraine — Zhytomyr, Rivne, Volyn, Kyiv, Chernihiv and Sumy — as well as Belarusian and Polish Polissia. For every town and community we gather what locals and visitors need: landmarks, nature sites, lakes and rivers, routes, museums and manors.

Next to the guide you will find daily regional news, air raid alerts, power outage schedules, bus timetables, border queues, local emergency phone numbers and an events calendar.

How we work

Guide articles are based on open sources — data from communities, museums, nature reserves, local history publications — and on our own trips. Photos come from free licences or are used with the authors’ permission; the author’s name is shown under every picture.

How we prepare news, check facts and correct mistakes is described in our editorial policy.
