Tour Report: Pharmaceutical Company B. [Revisit]

For my wife and me, it was our fourth exploration of this abandoned chemical factory. I had a business meeting and was in town for two days before a weekend at the end of February of 2017. We had gotten the idea to use the weelend for a couple of days of traveling together with our friend Freddy from Nordgriller Urbex.
I had booked a hotel for the three of us, and on Friday, Freddy picked up my wife at home and we met in the hotel a couple of hours later.
We got up early the next morning to avoid too many people around the locations that we had planned.
Ever since my wife and I had discovered the abandoned factory in 2013, we had known that there was a security service patrolling the place from time to time, and there has been an increasing amount of workers there, probably preparing the demolition that has already been planned.

About a year ealier, my wife and I had to take the hard and obvious way, but this time, the "usual" opening was there again, and the way onto the premises was quick and hidden.
There were, however, two white vans on the premises. We didn't see any workers, but the probability of them suddenly showing up was pretty high.
I think we were thinking back and forth what to do for what must have been about 30 minutes when I said that if they haven't showd up until now, I'm sure they'll wait another five minutes, and with that, we quickly ran across the open area to the first building.

Exploring the place was exciting as ever. Everytime you discover new things, new rooms and even new buildings that you haven't checked out before.
After a few hours, we reluctantly left the place the same way we had entered it, walked back to the car and drove off to the next spot.

Rumors are telling me that demolition has begun, but I am not sure about this since it hasn't been confirmed yet. But maybe this was my last trip to this amazing abandoned place. I do hope not.

Tour Report: A Cottage by the Sea [DK]

It was only a small location that my wife and I visited as our last spot on a short tour through Denmark together with our good friend Freddy from Nordgriller Urbex.
We didn't want to be too obvious, so we parked the car at the crossing of the road we needed to walk towards the house.
It was close to the sea, and the only thing surrounding the small cottage were fields of crops, so it was clearly visible that we were walking towards it. And the neighbor's house is right next door...
But in accordance with our previous experiences with Danish police, neighbors and people in general which had shown us that people in Denmark were generally nice and understanding of urbexers, we just went right to the abandoned house.

My wife and Freddy didn't even enter because it was so unspectacular. Nothing really was left except for a table and a bed; the decay wasn't really nice either - but the house looked nice from the outside, and I decided to jump in just for some quick photos.
And I did get a nice shot of my wife looking through the window :)

Tour Report: The Collector's Farm [DK]

It's amazing how much Denmark has to offer. Thousands of kilometers of coastline, beautiful villages, friendly people, hot dogs - and abandoned stuff. Lots. We discovered this abandoned farm with greenhouses based on aerial pictures from Google Earth. It was the second spot of a short tour through Denmark together with my wife and my friend Freddy from Nordgriller Urbex in February of last year.
Driving past the first time, we noticed that there were Neighborhood Watch sings on all the streets of the small village. We wanted to try anyway. We parked the car openly by the side of the road a bit next to the greenhouses, grabbed our gear and walked along the (public) road until we reached the place in question. We could see that the neighbors lived close by, but we walked onto the premises anyway.
First we found a couple of neat old farm machines standing behind one of the greenhouses. Inside this greenhouse, we discovered dozens of bicycles and a bunch of other stuff. Lots of stuff. Same in the other greenhouses.
Just as we wanted to start photographing a greenhouse full of old boats, the neighbor drove by.
He looked a bit angry and in a mixture of Danish, German and English, we were told that our presence was not appreciated. Upon my wifes attempts to communicate in Danish, he got a bit friendlier but remained firm in his belief that we weren't supposed to be there.
So much for the Collector's Farm, we got caught and thrown out. But we still had one more spot to find...
