All those who like travel know very well what are the main attractions they should visit if they have not already done so.
They appear on the lists and maps of the most visited places, but there are some parts in this world that mankind knows very little about them, but within them there are very interesting things, the Telegraph reports.

Confucius, Japan

These artificial islands are in fact the ancient cemeteries of members of Japanese imperial families. In rare cases they are visited by archaeologists, but they must also obtain special permission from the court.

North Sentinel Island, India

Everyone who lives on this island for a moment does not think to save their lives solely and only to protect them from foreign visitors. For this reason, Indian authorities have banned all foreigners from visiting the country.


Area 51

The existence of this secretive and far-flung zone has been confirmed by the US government in 2013, and according to them, it is now used for testing various airships. Entry or visit to the area is strictly forbidden.


Church of St Mary of Zion, Ethiopia

The Ethiopian Orthodox Church claims to possess the "Union Ark", which is kept under strict security measures near the Zion BDM church. Within it is a stone slab with the ten commandments of God.


Isle Kaho'olawe

Throughout its history, this island has served as a place where various religious rituals, as a prison and a training area for the US Army, have been conducted. Today, only members of volunteer teams working in environmental protection can visit this site, the Telegraph reports.


Telecommunication tower, United Kingdom

Since the incident that led to the explosion of the tower, the restaurant and belveder located within this tower are forbidden to visit. However, from time to time within it are organized humanitarian programs, in which few people are likely to attend and know what's inside.


Ise Grand Temple, Japan

The area around the Japanese temple can only be visited by priests and royal family members. Others should only enjoy looking at the beautiful roofs of the temple from outside the protective wall.


City of ghosts Varosh, Cyprus

This area was once the most visited in Cyprus. But everything changed in 1974, when, after massive evacuation, the city was taken over by the Turkish army. That place even today exists and serves as a buffer zone controlled by the Turkish army.


Sable Island, Canada

This rare sandy island has a population of only 30 people, and serves as a cemetery of many sunk ships. Because of its unique features, this island has been proclaimed natural reserves. To visit it, you must seek written permission from the Canadian government, explaining the purpose of your trip.


Pioneer Center, Sweden

Built in Stockholm during the Cold War, this nuclear bunker has turned into an ultra-modern Swedish web provider. At a depth of 30 meters below ground, some of the most important data on the Internet are stored. This place has also served to shoot some Hollywood movies.


Lasko Cave, France

To preserve the unique prehistoric paintings on the walls of these caves, access to it is limited for tourists. What you can do is enjoy the identical copy, which sends you to a virtual tour within it.


Radar station Don-2N, Russia

This modern pyramid is about 40 meters high and 120 meters wide and plays a key role in Moscow's missile defense system. In rare cases, journalists with the help of the guide are allowed to visit this station, but they know that only a part of it is visited since the rest is a state secret.


The Mount Rashmore Secret House, United States

In addition to the heads of America's most prominent presidents carved in stone, this place has another interesting area - the secret room within which ordinary citizens do not have access. In it there is a time capsule for future generations with the most important historical documents of this country.
