Wandering In Darkness Part I

Well, well, well, what do we have here? If there’s a forbidden entrance to the building and area, there must be an allowed one. But as I don’t have time to look for it, I’ll just pretend that I don’t speak any of these languages. I do speak, two of them as a native and English very well.

The jungle has again grown since my previous visit in 2020. This of course is another mental asylum. The older photos and the link to its story can be found here, so I will not repeat myself.

The previous time I was here, I only encountered locked doors and the car of a security guard company. But I’ve since then seen photos from another urbexer from here. There has at least been a way in, and they have been allowed to explore without disturbance.

While interesting, the place doesn’t really look tempting. I hate dark spaces. And most of this building’s windows were shut far too well.

The front of the hospital. Again the building is located on a hillside, so there is one floor more on the back side.

And suddenly and surprisingly I am inside the hospital, which has been abandoned for more than 15 years.

As the basement seemed even more uninviting than usual, I just went to the first floor.

And here we have a dark corridor.

And a balcony, it seems.

So this is about what I expected. Empty, dark rooms with very little stuff remaining. And the remaining stuff mostly broken.

Some of the small ventilation windows hadn’t been covered, which I was grateful of. I didn’t have to shoot entirely blindfolded.

That would have been a lovely chair.

I moved around with the flashlight of my mobile, but most of the time I was forced to photograph completely blind, and just shoot somewhere with a flash. I don’t expect these photos to be considered very ambitious art, they’re just documenting the place, which I still consider one of the big catches that summer.

So, more empty dark rooms it is. And more will be.

This one looks like a lounge of some sort.

The door was locked. But it was definitely that of an isolation room.

After that we go back to the normal.

There seems to be a pattern here. The narrow windows have been completely covered, while the ventilation windows of the wider windows have been left uncovered. Probably because nobody can enter through them.

The corridor was divided in two with a fireproof door. Let’s have a look at the other side in the next post.
