- In the middle of the Croatian countryside, nestled in a wooded valley lies a freaky and spooky ancient ABANDONED medieval style village … but one of the houses freaked me out! Does someone still live here ALONE in the forest?
Come with Matt as he continues his Balkan road trip and explores this unbelievable abandoned village that time forgot! - บันเทิง
Quick guide to historic Yugoslavian house building. No planning permission - people decide to build where they find somewhere to build. First person builds two rooms - no stairs. They then move in. One kitchen/living room, one workshop. They then build stairs up and a second floor (and maybe subsequently third floor. They then move upstairs. Person two moves in downstairs and starts building nearby.....two rooms. They then build steps and a second floor (and maybe a subsequent floor). They then move upstairs. Two houses, so two more builders move into the two ground floor rooms.....and they both start building two rooms each nearby..........it's a clever bit of communistic house building. Soon they have a village.
You are the best channel on you tube in my opinion. You provide entertainment, history and you go above and beyond and go places no other explorer would attempt to go.thank you for all you do Matt, take care and hope you get some much deserved rest ❤
I wish you could see what I’ve just explored! Can’t wait for New Year’s Eve to show you
Hi Sarah yes he sure does i fully agree so very true 👍 best exploring youtube channel ever!!!! and thats just the exploring to start with! x
yes agree totally best on TH-cam take care ❤
Hi Sarah 👋 this channel keeps me going I watched it before my auntie died and I'm watching it after❤ Matt and Andy are both funny 🤣🤣 and Matt is very friendly just feel at home on this channel you said it perfectly😊 cxx
@@lucywebber3588 he keeps me going and cheers me up especially on my bad days.
I like that Matt is authentic keeps it real and he makes me laugh, I feel like I’m there with him on explores, he is awesome x
Wow! Amazing explore!
Thank you!!!
You mentioned the bricks in each room?
When I was a teen many years ago, my mom and I went to tour a home that was built in the 1800’s.
There were bricks just like that in each room upstairs.
Mom said they were used as bed warmers!
They would heat them near the fire, and then out them in the bed so it would be nice and toasty all night.
Btw, thank you so much! I broke my foot two nights ago, and you have kept me company ever since! Lol
Started back at the beginning, and still binging!
So love your adventures!
❣️❣️❣️
Best show ever for us lil old ladies! !!!🥰
This is just about THE creepiest place that you have ever visited ! That village after dark is like something out of a Hammer horror movie !
It's the sort of place where you'd see the locals staring at you menacingly from a distance !
Glad you didn't get freaked out but it certainly made me shudder ! Thanks for another GREAT explore yet again !
Maybe the couple lived/live in America, and the photos were sent back to family? It's a shame the traditional clothes have been left to rot. Keep up the great work.
Finally someone decided to come to Croatia,everyone always goes to Italy,Germany, but nobody here. I am glad you come to my country,welcome 😃
Loved it!
Matt don't sell yourself short, you always entertain us with your videos and you know we all love you.❤
Your videos make my day, you make me laugh even on my dark days. Thank you 🙏 ❤
Ouch Matt ....I felt every stab of those brambles !! Loving your solo explores. I've tried watching other channels but none compare to you.... thanks for taking us with you and making us feel like we are there 😁
I was wondering if you had talked to Andy and how he's doing. Sending prayers and thoughts for wherever he is❤❤
I loved it as usual and your crazy comedy! Thank you!
Matt you really had me laughing with all your comments! This was quite an explore for sure! Although I’m sure all of us miss Andy, you are truly doing a brilliant job. I also miss Bear. I wish they would hop on once in a while. ❤❤❤. Thank you for sharing your grand explore. Love You #1 USA Fan, Betty
This guy deserves more likes to be fair!
Regarding the purses hanging up, it's quite possible they believed in an old superstition that if you put your purse on the floor your wealth will drain out of your life.
First time I heard that.
Really enjoyed that! I looked that village up....400 years old! You're really putting your all into this channel and it's so appreciated. My mums been in hospital for months now and I'm so tense at the end of the day so i watch your behind the scenes videos while everyone in the house is sleeping. They're funny and the scenery in Scotland is beautiful. Thanks so much 😊
These explores help me to forgets my troubles too even if it is for a short time. Hope your mother gets well.
❤️❤️
Although it would be fun to live in a spanking village (as long as you are the one who does spanking 😂), all those boards are actually cutting boards for vegetables and such... A bit of a weird habit in Croatia to put kitchen utensils up on the walls, especially back in the old days at these old villages. Thanks Matt for the great content and take care!
The buttons on the coat is from the Yugoslavia Serbian police in the 50s and 60s
that one place all neat and pristine was a shock, what a find, and what a place to live if they do live there, id love it, well done Matt again another great episode, and you do have someone else with you at times, Bear! love you both from the lake district♥
Great explore. Stuff you can only see on this channel. Looking forward to the follow-up video.Thanks for your efforts.
Oh and those nests on the pants are dirt dobbers, a wispy like insect but they don’t sting you.
I agree.
Be safe bud your doing an amazing job by yourself my hat comes off to you . Missing Andy to hope he's OK
Epic explore* Epic efforts* This was a treat to see* Thank you Matt* :-)
What a video! Such history just in stone. Amazing. There might not have been much in way of photos or knowing the people but the few items that were there shows how far away from everything these people were living. Just amazing. Well done Matt on making it out alive from the the weird little steps and thorny bushed. You have the scars to proof it.
Fantastic explore Matt❤
See the first house you where in the room where the cookers are I could see a wee boy in the next room
I saw him too.. it looked very spooky… maybe just a trick of the light??
Great video again , Slovenia is the biggest corn producers in Europe, and about the corn cobs, they use them as a energy source in the chimney... A now a Slovenian Operational Group is exploring options to use the corn cob as an new energy source on farms. The big logs haning outside the houses are to hang corn to dry, they braids it in long lines.... about the language, Russia and Slovenia alphabet is both Cyrillic, so it look similar.......I have to ask, are you in Slapnik, its difficult to see in the dark outside, it's an interesting place ❤ probably the entire family lived in these small farm houses, parent's there children and grand children and grandparents, on each floor, it was very normal, slovenian ( then Yugoslavia) people was very poor...Next on u wishlist must be a machete 😅
The buttons on the coat is from the Yugoslavia Serbian police in the 50s and 60s
thank you
Great explore, although the houses didn't seem to be that functional and silly question, but where were the toilets 🚽 in or out? I don't know how you do it finding your way in the dark. I would have been so turned around, lost bound. Keep well, and God bless. ❤
The one house that looked too newish was too clean. I truly believe that someone is still residing there. I saw a new purple lantern hanging and used tea candles. Plus, I didn't see mouse droppings. 🤔❤
Plus a TV over the bed
@andrewwiggins1398 Oh, how did i miss that!! Good looking.
Could you imagine someone sat in bed in an abandoned village and some bloke in shorts with a beard trying to get in your back door!!!! 🙄
Well Matt, you really know how to do the job. This is the best from you and you never give in a spikey spot, those bloody brambles are a killer for bare legs. You really stretch yourself to give us all a great video and we all love you for keeping going. Thanks so much and I look forward to your next adventure you will share….Much love ….Ruth from Tassie, Australia.
What a wonderful video Matt, thoroughly enjoyed watching this so much. I love how you find these gems. What a fantastic area you drove through to get here. Much love from Australia mate xx
Hi Matt. The beastie you saw & didn't like the look of ( long spidery thing ) was probably a Scutigera ( house centipead ) Very freaky looking things.
Not sure if this is the abandoned Popovici village but if it is…google says that the village was founded by Bosnian refugees in 1689 which is why the houses architecture was different to other regional houses. Really interesting explore!
Ah Matt, the little jokes you crack in these videos never fail to make me laugh! Great explore location too! Very rustic. Not sure if you could maybe take photos of some of the letters and then translate later at your leisure if you have the time?
Also, with dodgy stairs a trick I learned from firefighters is to go down them backwards, keep your weight on the step above and slide your foot across the step below to test for weaknesses.
❤the video and can't wait for more!
Love the video and can't help but think Andy would look beautiful in the black & white dress. The paddle boards are cutting boards in USA. Love to you Matt stay safe❤
Love u matt always a,good watch entertaining funny and just a great channel xxx
I've laughed a lot with you in this video 😂 ignore the people saying get someone else, you're doing amazing on your own, of course we miss Andy and I'm sure you do too, but you're doing fantastic and love your commentary 😂❤
#Matt, all that corn is probably for making shine, or vodka! ❤
This video shows howe young you are Matt 😅😅😅Were do you think cornstarch is coming from?
Another great adventure! Thank you so much Matt😂 And your joke's always make me laugh so much.
There was something. A figure standing in the doorway to your left just before you were talking about being alone. Please replay!!!! When editing to be sure. ❤❤❤
yu need a time stamp
Do you know the time stamp
I reviewed the video again but didn't see anything the 2nd time@rosswoolley2854
Omg Matt you are bloody hilarious you had me howling honestly what with paddle boards and chains for a start oh my days I bloody love love love your humour fecking brilliant! 😂😂😂😂......anyway absolutely loved this explore you do so very very much for this channel of yours we love you ❤ Matt ❤ stay safe and so very pleased you are having time off as it is very very well deserved enjoy your well earned time off merry Christmas you are truly Amazing! X Newport South Wales x 🏴
This was a great video Matt, loved all seeing all the rock houses and the content of them, so very interesting.
I did picture Andy in that black and white dress in my mind lol, sure do miss seeing him with you, I can hear you 2 bantering back and forth 😂😂.
Absolutely love watching you Matt you are number 1!!!💕
This video is so good. Amazing!! I love these places u take us
Beef curtains in the spanking village pissed my self 😂👍
A Jeroboam, or a Double Magnum, holds 3 litres of wine (four bottles), where a Bordeaux Jeroboam holds 5 litres. A Rehoboam holds 4.5 litres (six bottles), a Methuselah holds 6 litres (eight bottles), and a Salmanzar holds 9 litres (twelve bottles).
I hope that's a picture of a man looking into the workshop and not a real one...do be careful been on your own in a different country very risky great video
There was a TV hanging... someone is definitely living there
I agree but they would have to have electricity.
Theyre like the houses I have in a re occuring dream I have
I've giggled I've laughed I've had a.ball thanks Matt. X
love it!!!! Many thanks :)
Thanks Matt great vid again x
Wow, what a unique place. So cool. Thank u for all ur efforts and risking ur life for us. 😊
New merch line Bramblee bastards !!!! Love it Matt above & beyond again you legend ❤
Amazing video. X
Omg that big stick !!!!! Had me laughing out loud !!! Loved it !!
Fab video Matt xx
Such an intriguing place! All that corn probably used to make corn whisky, all those barrels and bottles as well
They probably use the cobs to start their fires.
I thought the corn was used to make whiskey too.
Oh wow another adventurous video, the house were very usual designs, I think the second to last place, look like a tiny prison or police station. Hope you didn’t get too hurt on the brambles.
You are a delight. I needed a giggle tonight.
Matt,you need to stop and go on holiday!!!
Just managed to catch this one Matt, but it really good.
great video to watch thanks take care 💯❤😮
You’re such a doll! Love ya!
I really enjoyed seeing the creek running through the house ,i could go asleep listening to that.Fasinating explore and seeing how other people in different countries live .It took guts to go there alone and you deserve all the good things in life Matt .Are the dogs abandoned maybe or hungry 😮. Stay safe big guy 😊 💙🔦 They really liked their corn 🌽🌽 xxx
That letter translation:
Hello Milan!
I received your letter today and see that you intend to come to our midst. I talked to the director and he agreed to take you in, so when you get home come right away so we can sort things out. As for the conditions, they are not the best for now, since the tariff rulebook has not been published yet, it looks like it won't be bad, and we hope that we will receive a salary according to it in the next month. So far, there are 3 of us technicians.
Now I wouldn't write to you anymore since we will see each other soon. I'm happy to wait for you.
Matt, you are in the former Yugoslavia. It was Communist-ruled by Tito, hence the star and writing.
I've been watching yr video's for years now with andy in them and without hime love all of them Matt u put out the best of the best mate well dobe❤❤❤
That thing you asked what what that dangly thing for looks like the top parts of a hooks it gives it room to swing so it doesn't brake the hook when picking thing's up, sorry if I haven't explained this well but I can see it in my head and probably draw it better than explain it!!!! Sarah from Yorkshire. X
🕷🙇♀️”..One another bloody Strange quiet explore of you Matt, Thank you!
I personally love your rambling it does make me giggle. I’m a fairly new subscriber so my question has probably been answered before, but here goes… why do you not wear a good pair of solid boots? Would you not feel safer? Is that my anxiety showing through? Really really good video. 😊
Na wouldn’t be comfy
That one that's done up at 47 minutes has a flat screen tv mounted above the bed. I think it's safe to say its still definitely lived in 😂
I agree.
Glad you were safe, great work as always when is my work husband returning? Sending a shoutout to Bear!
GOOD MORNING❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Very spooky take care with it being a strange place u don't no wats lurking xx ❤️❤️
corn alcohol is commonly used in the distilled spirits industry as a base spirit for producing ultra premium vodka, premium gin and other white spirits
Hello from Southeast Texas! You guys are so funny to watch, love your videos! What is the music you feature on this video? I love it such a beautiful tune? I would love to have it!
Hi Matt,your poor legs must be in tatters😂 Take care keep up the great content ,love it ❤
Such a strange place! Medieval vibes, but the pics and calendars? Indiana? This place was very spooky. Haunted to the hilt! Awesome explore! You are doing an amazing job with this channel! Please be careful and take care of yourself. Kisses to Precious Bear with much Love from Connie in Alabama, ❤
"On a scale of 1 to 10 this is f@#ked in here!" BAH HA HA HA HA HA! Hilarious! I could listen to you talk all day!
Thank You, Matt. I really needed that laugh! 😊
You saw all the Corncobs on the floor of the house that looked to have toilets upstairs, maybe they used them for toilet paper? Lol.
Matt your mantra tends to be: “Oh wow! Those stairs look rickety as all hell. A total death trap! Anyone who went up there would be a gonna’ for sure… So I’ll definitely be going up those later. But I’ll leave them till last, so if I die I won’t miss all the other good stuff round here.” 😂
awe I miss being in Croatia. I think you would have enjoyed some of my relatives houses Matt. They made their own wine and bread, had super nice ovens outside for the bread, tended chickens and had cows :D I loved being there as a kid. They had those huge jugs as well 😅 They lived a very simple life but were happy. even after the war. It's not as old as the village you are in but all the stuff they had like old plows and old kitchens and oll of that. And they all had a well on the property ah I loved it SO much
Ah, this sounds fantastic. Sometimes I think we live to complicated. You say your relatives had a simple life BUT they would have had a very “rich” life, not financially maybe, but in culture- I would love to live like that, and as you say , for a child it would be idilic ❤
Just done a quick google search and it looks like that military box could have had mortar shells and looks to be from Yugoslavia, 120mm is the calibre
😂Love you ventures you show the true raw footage which is intriguing Love it. Saw this house on a paranormal investigation that house is haunted with the family picture mother sons and father
Truly is an eiry home but great one Love ur video respect 😊
Another great explore.
I have that same square flashlight, but mine wasn't as cheap as yours was. Its rechargable with a USB mine is. I don't use it much, only if I need to pick up my granddoggers' pooh at night lol, but I've never had to charge it and I've had it for ages.
Definitely moonshiners who use to live there with the amount of corn and wooden barrels 😂. Great video 👌
Must be the mother in me as I kept worrying about you getting back to your car afterwards....its dark..will you get lost 😂😂😂...loved the explore though
The Magazine with the weird red Clothes is in german. The Title on that Page is "Signal your Christmas wishes" (Signalisieren sie ihre Weihnachtswünsche) and the funny Cap is a "Warm racing cap" (Warme Rennfahrerkappe).
Those coats with the star on the button are Yugoslavian military coats probably from the Soviet era could be ww2
WOW, WOW ,WOW - love it !! Although @ 18:32 it always comes back to poo with you lol😂😂
The sink type of thing in the wall , most likely is exactly that, we stayed in a old house in southern France and although not in use there was something similar and the owner said that water would be brought in by bucket and the dirty water would drain to the outside.
17:04 there’s a face in the window 😱😱
Matt this is pure class you have excelled yourself, 10/10 ❤
Hi Matt. Surprised how far you manage to walk considering how heavy your brass balls must be haha.
Jokes aside, another great vid. I have the same thing as you where I love picturing the lives of people - even "boring" objects can have such a connection to the past, and the individuals life.
I found this explore fascinating, such a very different way of life was lived there, very basic & probably very poor, it was a very interesting investigation into how others lived in a very different country to our own.
Can we all agree that Matt needs new shoes asap. Lol 😂😊
I lost it on the wheat crunchies in the trousers 😂
the stone square is a beer square, its a very old fashioned way of making beer, we still have i t in the uk in one brewery called Samuel smiths, but they call them Yorkshire squares here, but in olden days you would ferment beer in a square and that is a stone square.we took the idea from europe, as they made beer before britain did
You make me laugh matt you getting sound like Andy shove that up ya fadge and the Rat up ya willy 😂😂😂 loving this video think if I did this place ide send drone up too I'm still learning fly Mine great find amazing place and that photo they look like miserable and that house to clean in the middle of abandoned ones and it's true that dog as not stopped barking through your entire video tbh I think it should be called spanking Village 🤣 u make me laugh and made my day great video 😊💯💯👍 tbh i think them wooden thing hanging on the wall is made for making butter and killer sude burns on that photo 🤣👍
Matt,,,Croatia, was very poor,,and you have definitely shown us, the way the older Croatians lived. Take care ad ever..😊

"Matt, can you remember the inspiration for your hit Top O The Pops song *_Mingy Bottle on a Sunday Afternoon?"_*
I literally have no idea what you’re talking about
@FINDERSBEEPERS Sorry. I was making an off colored joke about the ribbed bottle you pointed out when you said "it's an Andy comment"...I was imagining you're familiar with the slang 'minge'.
