We discovered this children’s lung hospital in 2016 during a beautiful walk along the coast of the Makarska Riviera. Because we were in the area during the summer holidays of 2022, we decided to take another look.
During the summer holidays of 2016 we were on our way to the Krka waterfalls in Croatia when we saw large buildings looming in the distance. My curiosity was aroused and after visiting the falls we immediately drove back to the place we had seen. Because it was already evening and we still had to drive a long way back to our holiday accommodation, the explore took no longer than half an hour, but I was determined to return again!
The Ruhla children’s sanatorium, for children in the age of 4-12 years old, was a modern, very well equipped sanatorium in the 70’s and 80’s. A sauna, solarium, in-house playground and a pool are just some of the features the property had to offer.
This old abandoned cemetery is 0.75 hectares in size and is located on the Schlossberg, near the path to the Wartburg. It was laid out in 1599 by Duke Johann Ernst as a graveyard outside the city wall of Eisenach to the west of the preacher’s gate.
Duke Johann Wilhelm von Sachsen-Eisenach had a large zoo set up as a hunting facility. An entrance to this zoo was located at the site of today’s Hohe Sonne. To protect the zoo from poachers, the hunter’s house, built in 1747, was next to the gate.
Hotel Marina Lučica opened in 1971, during the heyday of Yugoslavia’s popularity as a tourist destination. With over 700 rooms coupled with excellent facilities, the hotel was considered to be one of the most modern hotels along the Adriatic Coast.
This is a well-known location for urban explorers, but unfortunately also for the vandals who really have to demolish everything and clamber under. A shame, because this must have been so beautiful inside.
Hotel Le Belvédère is located on top of “Le Hérou”, a rock wall in a meander of the Ourthe. The history of the hotel, in the northeast of the province of Luxembourg, is vague.
Although the restaurant itself has little to offer, the ascent of the heavily decayed tower was a bit exciting. But I survived!
Château Arabia is a beautiful abandoned castle in Luxembourg. The castle was formerly built by a wealthy lord, who had 13 children with two different women. The man died very young at the age of 60. After his death, the castle was sold to a wealthy Arab sheik who used it as a vacation residence.
