Tour Report: The Farm of Seven Tractors

As the second spot on our short tour together with our good friend Urbex Inn we chose to revisit another location - the abandoned "Farm of Seven Tractors".

I had been there twice before, but a good location can't be visited often enough, and after all, the last visit had been nine months earlier.

Just like last time, we parked the cars at the edge of the nearest field and crept along a hedge until we got to the house.

First we went into the familiar barn with the many tractors. Nothing had changed in the last few months, and all the farm vehicles were still there. However, someone had closed the large gate of the second barn, which suggested that in and again someone looks after the situation.

But maybe it was just another photographer who hoped for better lighting conditions by closing the door. The opposite was the case with us, so that we had to open the gate for reasonable pictures (of course, we closed it again afterwards).

Due to the fact that not much had changed, we spent only a relatively short time on site, and after we - once again - unsuccessfully tried to find an entrance to the farmhouse, we went on our way again. At this point, Urbex Inn unfortunately had to head home, but we still had some time to check out one last location, so we hit the road again.

Tour Report: The Farm of Seven Tractors [Revisit]

Only one week after my first visit to this place, I went for a revisit. My friend Pixelcracker had seen a few of the pictures I had taken and asked if I was up for another visit there. I was really happy about this opportunity - not only because I like to go exploring, but mainly because during the first visit, I had forgotten that my camera was set to take JPEG photos only...this visit gave me the chance to take the photos again in RAW format!

So we drove up to Denmark to check on the tractors and the Volkswagens. They were all still there, and nothing had changed. You might say that this is not a surprise, but in urban exploration, it actually is, because you can never be sure if the vandals hit a place shortly after (or before) your visit or if the cars have been sold and taken away or if the place gets demolished. Luckily, this wasn't the case here, so we had a nice morning takng photos. I actually took more photos than during the first visit, because I also focused on a few details, such as the headlights of the Beetles.

After about an hour or so, we left and got back on the road to check out another location.

Tour Report: The Farm of Seven Tractors

During our short tour to Denmark in October of 2018, we also visited an abandoned farm. I had gotten a tip regarding this place, and upon hearing that the barn was hiding some neat old vehicles, I got curious. So we decided to check it out.

It was a drive of only about 30 kilometers from the abandoned mink farm that had been our first exploration of the day. It was a warm and sunny Sunday, so we had a nice little drive across the picturesque Danish countryside until we arrived at the place. It was tough finding a spot to park without driving right up to the barn, but we did manage to find something between some bushes, so that our car was mostly hidden from suspicious eyes.

There was one farmhouse and a large barn. We first walked around the farmhouse trying to find an open door, an open window, a basement door - anything that would allow us to get inside. However, we didn't get lucky; the place farmhouse was tightly locked, and there was no way in.

The barn was entirely different. The door was open, and we could walk right in.

Upon entering, we spotted an old stable. There were four tractors, most of them Fergusons from the late 1950s (I think - but I'm not a tractor expert, so I might be wrong). Judging by the rust and dust they had collected, none of them had seen any farm action for at least ten or fifteen years, so in terms of rust and decay, this place was already a success.

As we went into the second part of the barn, we couldn't believe our eyes - there were three more tractors and even two old Volkswagen Beetles!

It's always great to find a Beetle, especially from the earlier years of construction, but in this case, what excited me more was the Zetor tractor that we found. Not that I know anything about these tractors except that they are manufactured in the Czech Republic - but when I was in Helsinki (Finland) during my Navy years, I visited a bar called "Zetor" that belonged to the Finnish band "Leningrad Cowboys". It was a legendary evening, and that's why I still have a good feeling whenever I see a "Zetor" tractor!

Tour Report: The House of the Evil Man

It was a cold and grey Sunday morning in January of 2017, when our infamous crew consisting of Pixelcracker, Lost Places in Schleswig-Holstein und Umland and myself drove North for a short tour of the Southern region of Denmark.
We had planned four locations, all of which were homes and farms either in small villages or way out in the coutryside.
We reached our first spot almost right after we had crossed the border. It was a small house that according to my information carries a somewhat dark history with it.
Parking spots were scarce, but so where neighbors, so we parked our car right on the former driveway.
Usually, a German RV doesn't rise any suspicions in Denmark, so we were pretty sure that no one would bother us.

We made our way from the car to the house over the lawn behind the house, where we tripped over a couple of old wire fences that were lying in the high grass and that couldn't be seen, but these were the only obstacles in our way.
Upon entering the house, we found rooms still with furniture, clothes on the floor and drawers emptied. All things of value - if there were any - seemed to have been taken, but there was a surprisingly little amount of vandalism, so that we did manage to get some nice shots from inside the house as well as outside.

After about an hour, we left to find the next spot on out list.
