Deutschland

The first two locations I’ve explored in Germany are similar as they both relate to the WWII period and the country’s civilian population at the time; one being a place of recreation and Nazi propaganda atop a mysterious mountain, and the other an underground refuge from the utter devastation of a city.

Heidelberg Thingplatz – a former theater constructed to promote Nazi propaganda through plays and rallies.

Krankenbunker “Breuning” – an underground bunker which was expanded to include a “hospital” deep within these cement walls.

Industrial Nations

I’ve wrapped up some industry along the western edge of Belgium before diving into Germany… enjoy!

Heusden-Zolder Coal Mine – a gallery of what remains at the Zolder mine, and some fun exterior photos of the nearby Beringen mine.

Huy Mill – just another roadside attraction, with a really neat water tower and some interesting graffiti.

Usine de Senelle – this furnace in France was demolished by the time I arrived, but the giant crucible was left in the middle of the field, along with some interesting machinery.
