Skyworks posted:This makes places like this all the more cooler to find. Keep searching, once you know what to look for there is stuff like this everywhere left over from the bad old days. Actually something like this is located very close to me: An 1980ies era cold war bunker depot from the US army, intended to provide flown-in divisions with ammo and other gear in case the soviet army ever broke through the nearby Fulda gap. You can still see the hockey stick shaped main road with the small bunkers nearby. http://maps.google.de/maps?f=q&sour...021136&t=h&z=16 (And if you like stuff like that, here is a trip report I did when I went there a while ago. "MilEx" if you want to put it that way  http://www.hoeni.de/pages/hobby_bunker_e.html - I still wonder if I should ever post a thread about visiting an abandoned fortress from the Maginot line, but its not really UrbEx and my pictures lack any artsy quality.)Also this here is interesting maybe: http://maps.google.de/maps?f=q&sour...010568&t=h&z=17 The combat blocks of a Maginot line fortress. Check out the Panoramio pics.

The Scientist posted:I'd be down to see this posted somewhere. Skyworks posted:Not only is this interesting it is educational. Despite not hitting the urbex standards, I would love for you to post this. I started to work on writing down a lengthy post with pictures and will post that to Ask/Tell. Give me a day or two, english is not my first language and I'm a bit short on time at the moment. Hopefully it delivers. Will post the link here. Robo Olga, I'd appreciate tremendously an Ask/Tell thread about your "city". It is so surreal, MadMaxian and has a serious Fallout-vibe to it. "Trip down to Memory Lane" it is. I couldn't imagine living in a place like that.

As early suggested I wrote a little trip report on what exactly this here looks like from the ground - and below. http://maps.google.com/maps?t=h&q=49.05694,7.2225&ie=UTF8&ll=49.057586,7.226107&spn=0.01049,0.019248&z=16 http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3374053

Earwicker posted:Found this cool overgrown hill bunker thing on the Swiss/Italian border. Guessing it's from WW2 Ah, sweet, thanks for that Earwicker - it is at the Reschenpass and on my "to-do-list" for a future bunker tour in Italy (see here for more stuff like that: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3374053 which I put up because of this thread). That one was built in 1919, just after WW1 when Italy fortified its northern border towards Austria after annexing Southern Tyrolia. It might have been upgraded in the 30ies when Mussolini was unsure about Hitlers goals after annexing Austria, but I'd have to dig around ore for that. If this page is correct however, the bunkers in that area are right now getting destroyed.  (http://www.moesslang.net/bunker3_reschenpass.htm german link, but pics should suffice)
