I didn’t have to travel far from the previous location before finding the next one. This one was perhaps a bit newer and in better condition than the previous one, not that it was very spectacular, either. The porch. Plain wood was also very much present here. The other side of the porch featured aContinue reading “A Neverending Village Part II”

A Neverending Village Part I
A friend of mine told me about one of the strangest villages in Finland. It was an extremely long one located by the sides of an almost straight road and continued for dozens of kilometers. The center of the village was 30-40 kilometers from the nearest towns. It had been a rural village and likeContinue reading “A Neverending Village Part I”
Later That Night Part II
Hiding in the bushes was another potential location. I had to go through quite a jungle to get to it. It was the main building of a large farm. The building itself was quite large, but three of the four other buildings on the lot were even larger. If the entrance to the main buildingContinue reading “Later That Night Part II”
The Home Of God’s Shepherd Part II
Ads about changing to the Euro. I’m guessing, that the place was abandoned around 20 years earlier. Another cassette from the Suviseurat. There’s been an eager buyer living here. And the back of a third one. The back of the ‘Tupa’. A look through the window. A forest is slowly starting to surround the house.Continue reading “The Home Of God’s Shepherd Part II”
The Shepherd’s Cottage Part I
Another ordinary rural cottage rotting away in the woods on the outskirts of a large village. The door was closed with plywood, but the window next to it was just large enough for me to squeeze myself in. Do you notice the can of pickled cucumbers, by the way? That’s one of the most commonContinue reading “The Shepherd’s Cottage Part I”
That Thing Looks Familiar Part II
A horizontal view from the living room. The chaos is just unbelievable. Another beautiful old chair with a box of cookies. And some very old looking books. A former couch and a window to the porch – a rather unique feature. Makes me wonder, if it was built as an indoor space later on likeContinue reading “That Thing Looks Familiar Part II”
That Thing Looks Familiar Part I
After the green cottage, I headed to the opposite side of the town. A fellow urbexer had tipped me about a location, which possibly contained an old farm. I wasn’t expecting much, but I went to have a look anyway. Turns out they were right. The sign does say private property, but it has takenContinue reading “That Thing Looks Familiar Part I”
Exploring With A Childhood Friend Part VI
Another view of the kitchen. The large wood stove was the only stove there was. It seems that no electric stove was ever used here. All kinds of dirt and stuff has flown inside through the broken window. The small door by the window leads to the food cupboard. The grocery store bag looks surprisinglyContinue reading “Exploring With A Childhood Friend Part VI”
Exploring With A Childhood Friend Part V
As we made our way back from the old village school and sightseeing tower, we stopped by an old farm we had spotted on our way earlier that day. Judging by the tracks it was evident, that a local farmer, maybe even the owner passed by the yard on their way to the fields. ThisContinue reading “Exploring With A Childhood Friend Part V”
That’s A Lot Of Wood
It was day four of my summer vacation. I had already left the Åland Islands behind and was now zigzaging smaller and smaller roads to collect all municipalities in Finland. I had slept at a parking lot and been so tired, that I hadn’t woken up, when a truck had parked its trailer right behindContinue reading “That’s A Lot Of Wood”
