Today, I began editing the photos from our Easter Weekend Exploration 2023! Our first stop was an abandoned Danish military base that has gained a certain amount of international "fame" because its swimming pool was used as a filming location for the Netflix series “The Rain.”
Needless to say, the swimming pool was the main attraction - but there were definitely a few other things to see as well.

NEW GALLERY UP!
By now, most of this Soviet barracks in the German city of Weißenfels has been demolished and redeveloped, but during the Cold War, these barracks - originally built by the N***s - served, among other things, as the headquarters of the 11th Guards Missile Brigade of the Soviet Armed Forces in Germany.
In 2022, we managed to explore a couple of the few remaining buildings that were still standing at the time.

This gigantic abandoned chemical factory was used as a set for movies such as "Inglourious Basterds", "The Monuments Men" and "The Hunger Games" and for shows such as "Homeland" and "Dark". We first visited this amazing place in 2013, and now I am celebrating the tenth anniversary of our second visit in 2016 with a re-edit of a few shots I took back then.
Looking back, this is still one of the coolest locations I've ever explored🤩

From a modern sand-lime brick factory to an abandoned industrial ruin – and now, a new residential neighbourhood.
Built in 1964, the factory in Lüneburg-Häcklingen once played an important part in the region’s post-war construction boom. By the time I explored the site in September 2020, production had long been over. Rusting machinery, empty halls and overgrown buildings were all that remained.
Five years later, the industrial site has disappeared – and a new chapter is taking shape.
These photographs capture the factory in that brief moment between its industrial past and its future: already history, but not yet gone.

NEW TOUR REPORT UP!
In March 2021, we explored a World War II air-raid shelter. Exploring bunkers is special in itself, but this one was truly unique. Due to a high content of lime in the concrete and the "de-fortification" of the bunker (i.e. putting hole in it using pneumatic tools), beautiful mineral structures had grown for more than six decades - and they were truly amazing. It was like a cave made of concrete😍

I didn’t think that my short trip on the Baltic Sea would offer any abandoned places - but I was wrong😮 Upon arrival in our port for the night, I immediately spotted an old steam ship in the harbor. It was inaccessible, but of course, I had to take a few quick shots😁

We had a pretty lazy day today, because it was raining a lot of the time - but we managed to go out for a quick exploration anyway😊
This abandoned church dates back to the 12th century and was finally given up in the late 1960s.
The vegetation was so dense that it was hard to make out a lot of details - but that was also part of the charm of this ruin🙂
