Austria Uncovered (2023) | Abandoned Places Documentary Series
2 videos • 803 views • by Broken Window Theory Accessing abandoned places is called "urban exploration" ("urbex" for short). Although their existence is often collectively ignored, entering such sites is still considered trespassing. Apart from being illegal, this activity can also be dangerous: rotten structures and invisible hazards like asbestos are explorers' loyal companions on their journeys. But these derelict venues are genuine time capsules, containing the past, present, and sometimes also the future. As urban explorers, we reveal such hidden worlds. Invited by our explorer friends, we set out to uncover Austria's forgotten relics in early 2022. We discovered fully furnished homes where the residents just vanished, historical but crumbling factories, and underground facilities built by the Nazis back in World War Two. In this series, we're aiming to preserve lost history. We share our best Austria explorations and invite you to join our time journey through different eras.
