Tour Report: Farmhouse No.33 [DK]

Only a few meters down the road from the first location, we found our second abandoned farmhouse of the day. As we arrived, the rain really started getting heavy, so we parked the cars by the road near the driveway and hurried towards the old farm. The first building we reached was the barn. The door was open, and it was dry in there, so in we went.
We started taking photos of the barn, and after that, we waited for the rain to stop. Since it was our first tour together with Dan from Urbex Inn, we had a bunch of stuff to talk about, stories to tell and plan the remiander of the tour, so the time went by quickly until the rain was over.
We then went into the main building, which wasn't really spectacular. No furniture was left - nor anything else. So we took a few photos, explored the adjacent building and were back on the road againd and drove off to the next spot.

Tour Report: Farmhouse No.36 [DK]

After we'd finished our exploration of the abandoned mill, we drove to the island of Fyn, where the family reunion was held.
The official start was on the next day, but most of the family gathers on the evening before, has a nice little dinner and start drinking. The first program point on the following morning was the traditional breakfast, after which my wife and I excused ourselves until late afternoon.
We had planned a tour together with Dan from Urbex Inn, a Danish urban exploration photographer.
The first spot we had planned was a promising looking little abandoned farmhouse pretty close to the site of the family reunion, so we didn't have to drive too far.
While we were on the way, the rain started. And it was more than just a little shower. But no matter, this was going to be an inside location anyway.
So we parked a little down the road and waited for Dan. Then we got a text that it would be another 15 or 20 Minutes until he arrives, so we said that we would be waiting inside.
We then got out of the car and started looking for a way in. It wasn't really easy to spot, but after inspecting most of the windows, we finally found an open one.
So we started our exploration and after a short while, a smiling face appeared in the window - it was Dan who finally joined us for our first tour together.
The farmhouse wasn't really spectacular. It had a few nice details, so we did get a couple of good shots, but we were back on the road relatively quickly to continue our adventure - the next spot was just a little down the road...

Tour Report: The Mill in the Meadow [DK]

We visited this abandoned mill in July of 2017. Every other year, my mother-in-law's family is holding a family reunion in Denmark. The last one was held on the island of Fyn, and we had planned to use at least some of the time to explore the abandoned side of Denmark.

My wife's mother came up to Kiel a couple of days before the reunion to stay with us. On the first day of the reunion (when everyone gathers at the place that we rent for the celebration), we first drove up North because I had gotten a tip regarding a nice little place that might be worth an exploration.

The detour wasn't too long, so we decided to check out this mill on the way up to the reunion.

As we started our drive, the weather looked good. However, as we drove North, more and more clouds darkened the skies and it started raining, and it didn't look like it was going to stop anytime soon.

But rain is something that has never spoiled an exploration for us, so we drove on towards our destination somewhere in the Danish countryside.

We could spot the mill from pretty far away; it stands lonely right next to a small river that used to power the mill works. And there was a parking spot right in front of the door, so we didn't have to walk too much through the pouring rain.

We got out of the car grabbed our gear and quickly walked to the large gate of the mill's barn - the gate was open.

The place had obviously been abandoned for quite some time, and the local populace has used it to dump some trash in it; but there was still a lot to discover, and the old wooden machines were all still there. It felt like a little time travel to see all the old wooden machines and transmissions, just like they'd been set up when the mill was built in the 1870s.

Some parts of the floors are a bit dangerous to walk on, and some floors already have started to collapse, but we still spent about two hours in there to check out all the details that could be found. There were even old Danish exercise books that belonged to children going to school. There were a lot of things to be discovered, and I did return twice since our first visit, so you can look forward to some more photos in the future.
