Tour Report: Special Care Clinic F. [Revisit]

The final spot that I visited together with my friend North Urbex on our tour in early November of last year was an abandoned special care clinic.
I was there once before, but since it was pretty close to reach (it was already afternoon) and it was a really nice spot, I didn't mind to go for a revisit.
Access was easy - just like the first time, we parked in the clinic's visitor parking lot. We grabbed our gear, climbed over the fence and found the open window to the spa area that we'd also used the first time.
It was obvious that in the three months since the first visit, some local vandals had been active and had emptied some fire extinguishers. Some graffiti had been added as well.
Still, the spot offered ad wealth of photos, and I even found some rooms that I'd overlooked during the first time.
After about two hours, we got back out and drove home. It was a really cool day - three locations planned, three of them worked out, and we got some realy nice photos :)

Tour Report: A Place of Execution

This abandoned military shooting range was the second spot that I visited together with my friend North Urbex on a tour back in November of last year.
It is really close to my home, so it was about time that I pay a visit.
Next to the short way, the place also has played a significant part in the dark history of the Third Reich, which makes it even more interesting to explore. During the summer, the local farmers' cows are grazing here, but in the winter, an eerie silence lies over the entire area.
The weather was grey and cold when North Urbex and I arrived at the location and found a place to park in a nearby industrial area. We walked along the fence until we found a hole which was big enough to enter. First, we found the remains of the old shooting area that was used during the time of the Nazis. We then went on to check out the newer facilities. Local teens have endulged themselves in vandalism and graffiti "art", so little is left of the original surfaces.
Nonetheless, it was an interesting place to explore, and we checked out every last corner before we drove off to the next spot.

Tour Report: Villa "Red Room"

In November of last year, I got a visit by my friend North Urbex who was in town for a couple of days.
We had decided to go for a short touor to check out some spots in the region, and this abandoned villa in my hometown was our first spot relatively early in the morning.
We only had to drive a couple of minutes from my home until we got to the place. We parked the car a bit further away to not arise any suspicions - the villa is in a wealthy part of town, and neighbors in these quarters are kind of twitchy when it comes to strangers sneaking around their houses ;)

We had to wait a couple of minutes until some people had passed, and then we leisurely strolled right onto the premises, up to the front door - and the damn thing was open! Man, we were lucky! One step and we were in, clsed the door behind us and started checking the place out.

The house was pretty empty, and there wasn't too much decay, but we managed to get a couple of nice shots. I especially liked the nice light in the basement...I do like basements :)

Tour Report: Castle "Charlotte's Valley"

This one was a completely unexpected and accidental find. After a dey of exploring in Eastern Germany, my wife and I, along with our friends Pixelcracker and Lost Places in Schleswig-Holstein und Umland, were on our way home. We were driving to our planned location when we all saw the beautiful facade of a thoroughly burned building, and we decided to stop for a quick peek.
This renovated old castle caught on fire not too long ago and burned down to its foundations, so there really wouldn't have been anything to see even if we had gotten inside.
But from the outside, we were still able to see the castle's former glory.

Tour Report: School of the Forest

After a great first day on our tour in late October of 2016, my wife and I, as well as our friends Pixelcracker and Lost Places in Schleswig-Holstein und Umland, all spent the night at a friends' house - not after we had a nice barbecue to finish off the day.
The next morning, we all had breakfast and left at a convenient time (that means not too early!). We had two possible spots planned for the day that were on the way back home, so that we wouldn't be arriving home too late.
The first spot of the day was an abandoned forestry school. We had to drive about 40 kilomters to get to the location. Nicely enough, there was a public parking spot more or less right across the street, so we could park one car, one RV and one car with caravan without looking too suspicious.
We waited for the right moment with no cars in sight to cross the road and just sneak onto the premises through the bushes.
We quickly found an open door that granted us access to the empty building. Although the school itself wasn't really spectacular, there were some nice details to find, so we spent almost two and a half hours in there until we had explored everything.
After getting back to the cars, we grabbed a quick snack before we drove on to the next location we had planned for the day.
