- Urban exploration: 9-day exploring tour of Europe's abandoned places (subtitles available) Episode #188
In February 2017, we went on our biggest urbex road trip to that time: in a group of three (Marco, Till, and Cornelius), we traveled almost 3,000 kilometers to document 16 abandoned places in several European countries. We entered military prohibited zones, ventured deep underground, and got in trouble with the law - on several occasions. Five years ago, we already shared our experiences on TH-cam in our very first urbex series. Now, in 2022, we decided to repost the old series as a feature-length documentary! For that, Till recorded a new voice-over and Marco gave the videos some polishing. This film now features all 16 episodes in a row (it is BWT season 1, so to say). Enjoy the journey back in time, and let us know if you would like to see more of our old stuff remade like this! #urbex #abandonedplaces #bwturbex

There's a weird bug at 54:36 (at the beginning of the French bunker episode)! For some reason, the screen stays white for 25 seconds while the audio is still working. Just imagine our team walking on a country road at this point and then through the woods at dusk.
And while we're at it: many are wondering why Cornelius isn't joining our latest explorations anymore, and why he can only be seen in our older videos like this series. That's because Cornelius is becoming a teacher! We actually see him a lot nowadays, and he's already working at a school, teaching little kids to be curious. As a teacher in Germany, you're obliged to obey the law, so he can't risk being caught while trespassing. But he is living our message and spreading it to the next generation!
Proud of Cornelius and really enjoying the video and personal stories. Love the cooking parts. BWT cookbook Thanks for what your team does!
So exciting to know Cornelius is teaching!! Ja, I was wondering about him.
Excellent film, but just a warning from 4:33 to about 6:33 > don't be eating anything while watching!!
It is gross!
COOL !
Hello broquen how aré you?.
Quite something that you just casually release a feature length documentary, complete with subtitles and everything.
Spectacular, guys. Thank you so much!
It was quite the hassle in the past few weeks, haha. But this series was already published on our channel back in 2017. We just did some re-edits to publish a long version of it.
@@bwturbex Hello, I just discovered the channel, but I thought it was spectacular. Lots of adventures and wonderful places, I just don't really like places like the mine, the banker because it gives me agony. Watching your videos and leaving feedback, you deserve it, I'm Brazilian, elderly and have a lot of free time, this gives me a good return. You are very brave, I wouldn't have the courage to sleep in the hotel. I think I'd be seeing ghosts. Congratulations on the beautiful work, I will always be here watching you, greetings from the tupinimquins lands.......
This is certainly one of the top exploration channels on YT. Very well done, not overly dramatic. Well narrated, and excellent footage.
I love you guys. I appreciate your unwavering commitment to, details of the history of your sightseeing, preservation. I hope more people find your channel. Also your voice is so mesmerizing and relaxing. I also really appreciate your music selections. They seamlessly fit with the content of the video.
That was WONDERFUL !! Over 2 hours of EPIC abandoned locations !! Each was a one of a kind find so interesting to behold . Some are gone now but they will live on in this video !! Your channel has been and will continue to be a important part of my life I love your work !!👍👍
More than 2 hours...its a movie now...great, i will see the video this night at my bed
Amazing! Enjoy and leave us some feedback after watching, please!
Thank you for doing this! For someone who wants to do this badly, but can't for several reasons, this is the closest thing to doing it!
This is a beautiful retrospective film of your first big adventure, it was great to see these places again in anthology form. I had discovered your channel not long before this trip, and am still happy to help support you in my small way. It must have been fun re-editing your younger selves into this epic video. I would enjoy seeing your other road trips receive this treatment, as it was a pure pleasure to revisit a seminal period for you as urbexers and artists while the snow build up two feet outside of my home. You have never disappointed with your content, so stay safe out there and keep doing what you love…and loving what you do.🖤🇨🇦
Wow, you have been around for long, Tamarra. Let's see what you'll say about our upcoming Italy episodes! 💯💥 Thanks for your support. 👍🏾
@@bwturbex I have no doubt that your Italy episodes will be wonderful, it is a part of the world I have enjoyed visiting from time to time, along with France, Portugal, Spain, and Greece. I have been to Austria only once, and fully intend to visit Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, and more of Switzerland once Covid eases back. I usually spend a few weeks whenever I visit Europe…but, of course I do not get the opportunity to see much of the abandoned parts of these countries, although I did get to explore an abandoned Synagogue in Istanbul, which I stumbled into quite by accident. I have loved your work from the start…and I know you will continue to show me the hidden wonders of your urbex world for a long time to come. This video compilation reminded me of something you said to me a few years ago about wanting to try your hand at a more cinematic movie/documentary style…it looks to me as if you are finding your way to that goal. Cheers.🖤🇨🇦
I remember these quite well! The remake brings these episodes to new levels. It is a good mix of where BWT started and today. Makes me happy to be a patreon!
Just finished the WHOLE video! Great to see the evolution of BWT’s productions over the years. Thanks guys!
Wow, you watched the whole thing? That's commitment! Thanks, I think we have developed a lot since 2017.
Hi Marco & Till. You should definitely be so proud of this video and yes, you really do a whole series of re-edits with new commentary. Hopefully more with more of the team, including Cornelius and Felix too.
As you know, I really love you work and it was so great to see those places that seemed so long ago because of all your following adventures since. Despite only following you for the past 18 months or so ago, where I'd seen a couple of the Michael & Brains videos prior. Ever since then, I was hooked.
As a Proud Patreon supporter and now the owner of my second Calendar I could not be more prouder. I often telling people about your work and always encourage people to watch you videos. As your hard work and tireless dedication to this amazing craft is nothing short of Spectacular. Your are an Inspiration to the youth of today, weather they just be curious or even to explore for themselves. Your respect for the places you visit and people you meet along the way is truly honourable too.
Now this video (in my opinion) should be seen by all! All that might be interested in just old buildings, urban exploration or just finding places for the adventure. Everything from the emotion stirring music to the amazing videography and the meaningful Narration told by Till. This 2.5hour Video brings home how wonderful and beautiful this world really is, along with the natural decay that comes along after mans worldly possessions have been left behind to simply rot into nothing.
Thank you.
Subscribed to you guys about a month ago. I’ve been binge watching your videos since. Love how you guys tell stories and make interesting things and places even more interesting! Keep up the great work guys!
That's my favorite thing, the stories told while you're exploring. LOVE IT!!
Awesome to see the series presented like this, I'd totally buy it as a physical release
Hahah, good too know. It's only available for free though. 👻
Thanks for sharing these early explorations! I always enjoy the narrations and personal stories. Fun watching you cook
We're expected to be snowed in tomorrow, I'm going to be watching this! You're videos are always wonderful but over 2 hours?! What a gift, thank you!!
You're welcome! I wish it would snow here as well..
@@bwturbex we got about 2 feet of snow overnight, plenty to share! 🙂
Missed you so much guy's,i just got back from a catastrophe, here in Lapu Lapu city Phillipines i don't have a signal, that why i missed some of your latest videos.but now I'm here back to normal again...so happy watching you again
..
Oh sheet, what happened over there? I hope you and your friends + family are safe!
Really awesome compilation, loved every moment of your adventures! So yes please, if you upload more of these, I will watch!
I love the compilation format for your previously published works. Saves looking for each individual episode. We viewed this one over several days, a few chapters at a time. It also highlights how much you have improved your photography and production quality over time!
What a way to spend a Sunday afternoon. The photos from this are incredible! Definatly inspiring for my own photography. All I can say is: More please!
Many more to come! Thanks for joining this journey into the past!
Oh, wonderful! Pausing vid until tomorrow when I can make it an occasion. Can't wait.
Thoroughly addicted and thoroughly enjoyed this two and a half hour adventure!
This is awesome, I love bingeing your videos so something like this is perfect 🥰
Fantastic! I hope these episodes are new to you. 🔥
@@bwturbex Well I've been subscribed for a few years now but I always enjoy rewatching anyway 😊
i enjoyed this so much! Thank you for the remake. There were several episodes that I had not seen.
This is absolutely spectacular! Than you all for these amazing adventures 😎👍👍
found this channel today(3rd of April 2022) and saw almost 6-7 videos within a day.. excellent work by your team guys. this is great channel and sending love from Pakistan.
Another wonderful presentation, thank you. I love the commentary your English is excellent. I understand that English is taught in schools in many European countries but your English is better than school boy English. Please keep exploring and stay safe.
Diese Zechentürme sind beeindruckend. Die Bezeichnung dieser Vorläufer der neueren Stahl-Fördertürme ist Malakov-Turm, wegen ihrer festungsartigen Architektur nach einem Fort in Sewastopol benannt.
Great work guys! Happy New Year and welcome back! You have a fascinating set of explores your so courageous and brave it takes courage and you do it all for us and we are grateful! Keep up the great work!!
Hi Marco, Till and Cornelius!
What a great documentary of the 16 abandoned places!
I hadn't seen these episodes before because I discovered your channel later.
I find it's so cool that you've re-released these episodes within one documentary! Thank you for sharing.
And your cool calendar 2022 hangs in a nice place in my house :-)
Thumbs up for your team. Can't wait for the next episode. Thanks in advance!
Thank you so much! I love your vidz, get my urbex fix the only way I can atm. Please do release more of ur old film as I only found your chanel recently but am totally addicted. Much love 👍😁
More 2 hour content please. Absolutely love it.
Ihr musst dass ofter so machen!! Haben echt genossen ♡♡
Wir werden das nach uns nach mit unseren Serien machen. 🔥💥💯
Love seeing a BWT-film!
And love your calendar guys. Keep up the great work, you are really inspiring :)
Thank you. We have big ideas for this year. Let's see if it all works out!
Its interesting to see those houses untouched and not vandalized. Aside for the natural decay, They are well preserved.
Wow, Just what I needed right now....yes needed.
Thank you for your curiosity to investigate the many buildings that were abandoned or being refurbished for a new life. Especially appreciate seeing the structures that were soon to be demolished after you filmed. Very creative in the filming visuals as well as the spoken word about these unique structures or vehicles.
Bravo for the way you handled the nosey cop whom I figure would have caused a lot of problems if given a chance.
This truely is a wonderful journey into the places i am sure many persons would have enjoyed exploring with you as I have just expierenced.
Wow more than 2 hours of exploration 😱 I'll definitely enjoy every bit of history
Your new videos are one of the highlights of my day!
Thanks for this wonderful work!! I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy it! 💖💖💖
Good health and happiness 2022, tyvm for all the explores, of telling the story of what was :)
Another Great Job. Very well put together. Thanks for the super post, Jim
Cheers, Jim. Have a good one!
Just started watching this video and think it would be fascinating to hear the stories from the students who attended the physiotherapy school. I'm sure with the info left behind some of them could be found via social media, it would add another layer to the already great research you guys do.
Wie nicht anders zu erwarten ein ganz wundervolles und unterhaltsames Video. Und vor allem zeigt es auch das ihr jede Menge Humor habt! Die Sache mit dem Fernglas fand ich persönlich am lustigsten,toi toi das es nicht kaputt gegangen ist :)
Haha, danke! Wir finden, dass unser Humor oft nicht mainstream-tauglich ist, darum schneiden wir sowas selten in unsere aktuelleren Videos. 😹
That was a fantastic video! Thank you for your work and great filming! Stay safe!
Thx for watching and the kind feedback. On Sunday, we will post a great new video. Stay curious!
I started watching and thought I'd watch a couple episodes, and get on with my day. But no. I couldn't stop! I thought I'd gone back and watched all the old stuff, but I don't recall seeing the one about the spring water bottling plant. That one was new to me.
I'd love to see a marathon of Italy and of the French manors and chateaux. That'd be great. Do that one.
Awesome work guys, thanks for an enjoyable (if unproductive) afternoon.
Whoehoe!
- takes blanket and gets comfy on the couch -
Lets watch this!
Simply amazing work, had me hooked the whole video
Gracias por los subtitulos en español! Y muy bueno como siempre, saludos!
Finally finished watching all 16 parts! 👍👌
Every time I watch your videos, it always makes me wish I have a gift to be able to time travel.
Loved all these masterpiece moments! Thanks all for these productions! Thoroughly thought provoking. Enthralling. Wonderful to spend time en joying BWT, whilst a purring kitty beside me. Such uniqueness to be urban explorers. Astounding. Getting glimpses of other's lives and livelihoods is thrilling to me, and all the interesting comments! Amaste.
You guys are awesome and don’t stop curiosity and exploring amazing abandoned places in the world 👍👏
We'll never stop! Hope you'll do the same!
Wow, every video has me at the edge of my seat! Very interesting & very detailed too! I love your adventures!!!
just amazing! Wow. Love you guys;) Greetings from Czech rep. ;) Also I started to support you via Patreon, because you deserve it!
Thanks so much for your great support!!! I think, we will explore the abandoned parts of your home country as well at some point.
I am fascinated by the Haus der Anatomie. I saw the Proper People's vid and that's when I discovered your channel
Thanks, Jennifer. Too bad, the place had to be torn down since it was so close to collapse.
Awesome intro and I am looking forward to seeing this. I have been a Subscriber for quite awhile now but sorry to say that I haven't watched many of your videos. Cheers
Recién estoy escuchando la música del video (inicio) te felicito,tengo 72 años y ni pizca de inglés gracias x tu video 👍💜
I really enjoyed this. I watched the whole thing. I couldn't believe when the binoculars fell. What a miracle they didn't break. Thank you for sharing this adventure
Yeah, thought the same with the binoculars. I think we should take them with us again to our road trips!
I enjoyed every minute of this video, thank you so much. Your camera work is simply outstanding. I love, love, love how you capture the details and awesome perspectives of these structures. This is really some eye candy par excellence. 🍬👁️🍬 Keep it up, guys👏👏👏❤️👏👏👏
This is gonna be great!
Enjoy this massive video, haha!
I love this! I hope you do more like this
🔥🔥🔥 Of course! Thx!
Thanks for sharing this is going to be great like all the vids you guys do keep up the amazing work!
Thanks. Just seeing that you subscribed to the channel a year ago, cool! Have you already watched this 2017 series before?
@@bwturbex no I haven't yet but once I'm done this vid I Definitely will watch !
Wirklich sehr spannend anzuschauen
Awesome guys, thank you for your videos 👌
You're welcome, thx for watching!
Such beautiful work
great remix. loved it. been a long-time fan.
Fantastic! When did you join the channel?
I did enjoy your videos very interesting the sanatorium was just much like the ones in Britain I spent all my younger life in a sanatorium with TB it's a horrible condition people were dying just like the virus today I went into the hospital when I was 4 I did not come out until I was 11 I am 73 now I watch your adventure all the time
*_Das Video hat mir wieder gut gefallen, danke für die gute Unterhaltung. Freue mich auf mehr_*
Danke, da kommt noch viel mehr in Zukunft! Als nächstes wollen wir unsere dritte Staffel von Italien-Abenteuern veröffentlichen!
@@bwturbex Sehr gut ;-)
Amazing video!!
I really enjoy the long videos.
I love this channel so much🥰❤
Thanks! Will be interesting to compare how much our videos have changed in these past five years!
Wow amazing! Thank you for inspiration!
You're very welcome! We might go on another urbex road trip very soon!
@@bwturbex Wish to join!
Where are you from?
@@bwturbex NL, Amsterdam. Keep up the good work!

Hat wieder viel Spaß gemacht beim Zuschauen, 👍🏼
Danke fürs Begleiten auf diese große Reise! Das hat uns damals echt geprägt. Aber seitdem ist viel passiert und unsere Videos aber auch wir haben uns krass entwickelt!
@@bwturbex weiter so...
❤you guys put too much efforts that I can see in your all videos good luck good work keep it up 👍

I have enjoyed seeing this as I did not see the original videos.
GRACIAS!!!! GENIAL QUE SUBTITULEN EN CASTELLANO!!!!!!! Buenísimo el video! Abrazo desde Buenos Aires!!!

Me, someone who listens to lowrider all the time, that's so cool, American classic rock in Europe ❤️
hey im from Caaaaada Alberta, just subscribed. and hit that like button thanks for sweet content keep them coming huge thumbs guys. stay safe and healthy.
Wow....I always love watching your video, it's very interesting update more videos...thank you..
Thanks, will do!
WOW the tanks at the end, it's surprising how something I usually find so ugly and utilitarian can be beautiful in decay
Totally agree! Being abandoned turns things into beautiful stuff!!
Yass Sunday night sorted
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Grab your favorite food and enjoy the show!
Wow idol
Love your voice ! Keep it up the good work thanks for sharing again 🇬🇧
Cheers, Evelyn. Are you going to watch the full 2,5 hours?
@@bwturbex yes 🙌 idol while recovering from covid ! Hope you well keep it up 👍. Sending love from london
1:29:50 Radio Luxembourg! Great find, BWT! Nothing like pirate radio to stir one's soul! 😘 The abandoned homes were so poignant...and that Blaupunkt car stereo system! A find in real walnut! 🤣
Yeah, these walnuts?? What was going on there 🐿🐿🐿??
@@bwturbex I guess they preferred walnut to mahogany? Wunderbar! :D Your channel is, like, UBER, dude! 😎 Yes: more if these Urbex movie compilations! Exceptional narration, music, editing...humour! The binoculars incident! And unintentional humour, as well: 1:12:29 Missing career.
the sanitarium was huge and beautiful, too bad it can't be fixed up into a hotel or something. I like the abandoned homes the best but I'll watch all your videos cause ya'll are so good at what you do! And I already commented before but I'll repeat it...yes! do more like this.
Thank you! Five years later (today) the sanatorium is totally wasted. There's graffiti everywhere and a lot of vandalism...
Enjoyed this very much. I have seen a couple of these before but missed quite a few. The French bunker is a shame. I visited in the early 2000s when it was in pristine condition inside; the army was still keeping a close eye on it and we had to get permission from them to visit. It is so sad to see the blackened interior from the recuperation of the copper wiring. Thanks for an enjoyable afternoon!
Wow, Clayton. You went there long ago! We are interested im exploring more old bunkers of the Maginot Line.
@@bwturbex There are plenty. Many of them are now museums, refurbished, and open for visits but there are some that are abandoned and not quite the mess as this latest one. I'm sure you have your sources to advise you where to go. I would also suggest the Maginot Line forts in the Maritime Alps near the Italian border. They are in great condition due to the climate and in some the guns remain. Once again, some museums, some not. The Vallo Alpino (Italian Wall) is fascinating with long tunnels - no guns or armor though. Regards!
Молодцы!
Chaudfontaine is still for sale in the Netherlands.
i like ur adventure's, u guys are cool when u do these 👍👍👍🗿
keep safe plz
Movie for sure I agree guys
Wow, Anna L. sieht ja noch gut aus, als ihr da wart! Bei der nächsten Mine einfach ein paar Knäuel Wolle mitnehmen! 😂 und wirklich toll, wie ihre eure Filmskills verbessert habt!
I wonder what made them abandon this beautiful mansion and the surrounding is stunning too.
Watching without skipping ads
What particular mansion do you mean?
Tunnels and caves are definitely a pain. We used to use glow sticks, they last for a bout 6 hours. Although if you dont need much time we found glow in the dark stars also work😂
Richtig gutes Zeug!
Muss!
Epic
💥 Thanks, have fun with this one!
@@bwturbex I will. It snowing today. So. I'm watching next to the fire.
Cool! I hope it will snow here, too. Can't wait to do some decent winter shots!
24:18 current progress
love that random meal in an abandoned building. I wonder what the past residents would think if you showed them
They would be like WTF.
@@bwturbex probably haha
@@bwturbex I'm trying to imagine what it would be like if a place you knew well was abanoned and 20 or so years later some explorers sit and eat in its deserted remains
Why are there so many abandoned places? Everywhere? Doesn’t it make you wonder that? Every place across the globe!
There were abandoned places in every culture during every era of this planet. As long as there will be people, there will be abandonment, too.
Hey man, I fell in love with the content you guys make and it’s honestly amazing, maybe one day I’ll do the same
❤
