Yet another railway station along the same track as the others. Opened in the 1880’s along with the others, passenger traffic ended in 1983 and the station was entirely closed in 1988. Unlike the others, which still seem to be in a sensible condition, this one is starting to be fairly rotten. No luck hereContinue reading “The Train Still Wouldn’t Stop”

Oh The Decadence
Back in 1968 a local constructor built a motel by a busy highway. The building originally featured eight rooms and was operated by a state owned chain called Motorest. Back then it was the newest new. Two years later the motel was extended with another 12 rooms. And there it served passengers for decades. InContinue reading “Oh The Decadence”
Mambo No 5 Part III
That must be the door from the pub to the terrace, which I saw earlier from the outside. The wall to wall carpet is a blast from the past. The children’s menu and the drinks. A nice fit! The use of wood in the interior is striking. It was visible everywhere except for the floor.Continue reading “Mambo No 5 Part III”
Mambo No 5 Part II
The back door opened directly to a dark corridor with cold rooms and meat boxes. As every single window of the building was nailed shut, this would become a dark and messy exploration with very bad quality photos. Sorry for that, not sorry. The cold room no longer contained food. It contained china and glasses,Continue reading “Mambo No 5 Part II”
Two Of Many
After the previous railway station – a second railway station. This one was built in the 1880’s like the previous one, but survived for a little longer in passenger use – until 1990. The architect was the same one as with the previous station. This one was also in a very good condition considering itsContinue reading “Two Of Many”
The Disco Days Are Over Part II
The front of the reception. This is where the tourists came for decades. The restaurant. And it seems like some renovations indeed had started here. The kitchen. There are several things stored here, which shouldn’t be here. It was a surprisingly dark place. The main entrance. And another mirror selfie. I am notorius for wearingContinue reading “The Disco Days Are Over Part II”
The Disco Days Are Over Part I
The trespassing forbidden sign is in Russian, so you probably already guess, that I’m in another location, which I found thanks to the article I mentioned in the previous post. This time it’s a holiday village founded in 1967 by a local entrepreneur. In its heyday there were up to 70 000 visitors a year,Continue reading “The Disco Days Are Over Part I”
I Might Have Been Mistaken Part V
Another old fashioned sofa, but this time on a turquoise plastic floor in front of a brick wall. This is something different. Another room with newly folded laundry. And the oh so familiar hexagonal tiles. Two washing machines. This clearly was, where the laundry of this holiday village was done. A windowless room, where evenContinue reading “I Might Have Been Mistaken Part V”
I Might Have Been Mistaken Part IV
And so I am gathering more speed from downstairs. I believe, that this definitely was the reception desk, as those hooks have stored room keys. There have been surprisingly many of them. There was a second stairway. And this, I believe, is in its original condition. I wonder, why the light upstairs is so peachy.Continue reading “I Might Have Been Mistaken Part IV”
I Might Have Been Mistaken Part III
This one continues my tradition of starting posts with a corridor photo. I wonder, who made those paintings. The back of the building was more of a maze with smaller rooms. Nice pink walls, old sofas and toys. I wonder, when those Lego things have been built. This room again looks more and more likeContinue reading “I Might Have Been Mistaken Part III”
