Tour Report: Farmhouse "Henry"

The abandoned farmhouse with the old Ford models was also back on the agenda when we returned to Denmark in January 2020 after two good friends showed great interest in it. And I don't usually turn down a trip to Denmark!
At this point, there's not really anything spectacular to report about the revisit because, as with the first visit, we were completely undisturbed and the location hadn't changed in any way.
I took the opportunity to photograph a few more perspectives of the beautiful old cars. As already described in the post about my first visit, this location offers nothing more than just the cars in the barn, so we were on our way again relatively quickly to pay another visit to the third location.

Tour Report: Farmhouse "Oldtimer"

After we found a farm full of old cars on our 2019 Christmas tour with my mother and mother-in-law in Denmark, two good friends of mine also expressed an interest in visiting this exciting spot.
So one cold morning in January, we made our way north, crossed the border into Denmark and reached our destination about two and a half hours later.

Just like the first time, we parked in the driveway between the house and a hedge, so at least the car didn't immediately catch the eye. Then we set off straight away to take a look at the classic cars.
Sure - it had only been about four weeks since my first visit, but I was still pleased to see that nothing had changed in that time. In the past, we had already had the experience of buildings being demolished at short notice or the inventory being removed.

We took our time to absorb all the details and enjoyed the beautiful sunny weather. We could hear the neighbors' children playing in the plot next door, but no one bothered us while we inspected the wrecked cars in the garden.
Even when one of my colleagues accidentally collapsed a huge pile of axles, which naturally didn't go quietly, nobody noticed us.
So we remained undisturbed and set off again after about two hours. The second location we had visited on the Christmas tour was also on the agenda again...

Tour Report: Socialist Summer Camp "Lost Village"

Our 2020 New Year's tour took us to an abandoned village. Well, not a “real” village in that sense, but an abandoned pioneer camp of the former GDR.
We had already driven past it several times on our excursions, but never had the time to take a closer look - this time it was actually on our list.
We found an official parking lot not too far away and went straight to the large main gate. There was a small gate next to it. It was open, so we walked in at our leisure.
It was a really nice day. The winter sun was low, even though it was only 2pm, so we had some really nice light in places.
Of course, the buildings were mostly empty, and the vandals and local teenagers have had a "proper rampage" over the years.
The grounds were originally much larger - there was room for around 600 children. Nevertheless, we were able to get a good idea of what it once looked like here.
We explored the remaining huts and rooms and enjoyed the cool weather.
After a long New Year's Eve, the fresh air really did us good!
