Europe's Secret Abandoned Power Plants Explored | Urbex

In the past, powerhouses used to be more than just utilitarian structures. At the dawn of the electrical age, those buildings were soaring temples that should change the world forever. While functionality is more important than design in modern power stations, it seems like architecture had a special meaning back then. But more and more of those historical sites disappear. As fans of the aesthetics of industrialism, we simply had to explore two plants on our Hungary adventure which seemed to be the last of their kind. The first place is a time capsule that already existed like that 100 years ago. The second one impresses thanks to its sheer size and post-apocalyptic look. Join us on two exciting infiltrations of some of the most powerful witnesses of the past you can imagine! #urbex #abandonedplaces #bwturbex

Sorry for the delay but we hope it was worth waiting for! At this moment, we're taking part in a huge street art festival which takes place on an abandoned property. We will release a video report about that soon, so stay tuned. (German subtitles will be available in those next days, thanks for your patience!)

[@sheliadavid9933]

Well worth the wait your team puts together the best locations, history, and wonderful narrations!! Your channel deserves so much more subscribers!!

[@the-troublemaker]

Nice gread video, you should come over to china and explorer same lost and abandoned places.

[@respectbossmon]

Apologies are like....err...unnecessary, eh? I sometimes delay watching BWT and a few other favorite channels so i can enjoy a marathon (usually with friends) on the big TV. Hmm....5:59 Open Window Theory also provides positive results! ;p

[@urban_fox_cub_urbex]

19:27 i have walked on worse then that that’s nothing that’s a steel frame with wooden planks on top panicking for nothing guys

[@pascoebrock5877]

can i use your picture as a record cover?

[@flTobi]

Guys your production quality is so insane. Weiter so!

[@ninjastellar]

0:32 what a shot! 😮 edit: lemme rephrase that, this entire episode is 😮

[@J.DeGroot]

We can handle a little delay. As long as you keep uploading masterpieces like this you will always have many loyal subscribers. I'm looking forward to the next videos!

[@daviddavid2890]

These places should be museums, not just abandoned places with security guards that most people will never see

[@yippdogg9250]

Please never stop making videos, freaking love you all.

[@anthony10370]

Thank you, power plants are my favorite explors, I like seeing the old switch gear. I work at a company that builds switch gear for small plants and backup systems its cool to see the vintage stuff.

[@bwturbex]

We have some more footage of abandoned power plants we might share with you later this year. 💪

[@TheYizuman]

Thank you for providing captions, the deaf community appreciates it.

[@sandiscuriousthings]

Wow, absolutely stunning! It's crazy to think that the first powerplant is 100 years old!!! Electronics everywhere! Awesome work! Thanks for sharing!

[@bwturbex]

Ur welcome. 📺

[@szilarddietzel9071]

I live close by to these places. The power plant is not in use, but the buildings around it are. As with the old barraks, I went inside myself 7 years ago, it is really impressive.

[@badlarry172]

You know what i like most about this channel The photography / videography Edit and the sheep

[@sternen_7666]

I'm hungarian and I know both places but I never was inside. Thx guys, keep going 👌

[@SRay-or3nc]

I smiled through the whole video and I am still smiling! I liked Cornelius' idea of using the conveyor belt. Both locations were a metal wonderland. You guys must have some metal nerves! Epic and fun!

[@sheliadavid9933]

Till and Marco,another fantastic find,much thanks to your friend,Toby,for sharing its location. Your locations and history into these abandonded locations into 🇭🇺 Hungary brings us here in the U.S. much closer to all things abandonded into your Hungarian and other European locations we would never see!!🤗👍💕💕💜💛💚💙

[@WillMorgan89]

It would be amazing to see the control room at night with the lights on. It's a really interesting way to light that room. An oval of fluorescent lights in the centre, and then all the way around the room over the control boards.

[@sharonmiller8132]

Wow, that was some architectural talent! Glad to see you guys didn't get hurt as my heart was pounding thinking you guys would get spotted or you would break through the rotting floor. Great job and thanks again for the cool videos, many thumbs up.

[@2bczar4u]

I'm thinking a bright blue and white teeshirt isn't much camophlage. Good vid again guys. Always love the narration!

[@bwturbex]

But those clothes worked quite well actually. 👕 Even the security sheep was running from us.

[@pilotgrrl1]

Another awesome video! I'd rather wait than have you rush. I can't say which of your videos I like best, I always find something to love in each. With such high quality cinematography, your films ought to be shown in theaters.

[@Urbandoned]

Awesome guys! Two unbelievable bucket list spots documented in perfect fashion. Definitely one I’ll return to in the future :)

[@bwturbex]

[@ForgottenBuildings]

Probably te coolest abandoned control room in the world right now! Also great storytelling once again! 👍

[@bwturbex]

We were super glad to have experienced that control room!

[@cooperwilliams4686]

Another great film 👍🏻 Keep it up... You deserve so much respect for the quality of your work.

[@kristy7174]

You guys out did yourselves this time! Both places held danger of getting caught! Brilliant video guys! The ceiling was incredible n the tower was terrifying! Well worth waiting for my friends. Stay safe and God bless from Nevada, USA.

[@tpo817]

I work in the power industry. Ive had the pleasure of going in numerous power stations both new and old. That oval room is absolutely stunning, never seen anything like it.

There were no "transistors" when this complex was built. But there were many "transformers"-which converts alternating and straigh currents.

[@kpurban1310]

Never been happier to see your upload. Another brilliant video guys! Remember doing both them plants last year, pretty much took the same route in.

[@bwturbex]

Wow, thanks mate!

[@jimhiner1244]

"Security Sheep". That is hilarious!

[@sciencestuff699]

I used to live just a few miles from that power plant and I didn't have a clue it's such a beatuful piece of art deco building. Thank you for the great video.

this is literally 10 min away from where I work :D monument of a sadly bygone era for Hungary... great vid Leute

@@bwturbex pretty much the same, opened for journalists from time to time

[@GlobetrotterBR]

Two great epic achievements in only one video!! The only down point, not for the video but for your health, was you guys (except one) touching everything with bare hands. It can be extremely risky.

[@bwturbex]

Thanks for the subtitles! This video was amazing and I certainly cannot say enough about the security sheep.

I love seeing this place. It's so beautiful. Another great videos guys 🖤

Thank you! 🔦

[@RailPreserver2K]

The plant that has the circular control room needs to be saved because I haven't seen another one like it anywhere else

[@bwturbex]

We just found out about a similar one in Berlin!

[@RailPreserver2K]

@@bwturbex nice and the reason I was saying that they need to save the building is because I'm a photographer myself and I can tell you what I'm seeing is very photogenic as well as artistic

[@melissah6235]

This intro is sexy, guys! 7:19 my favourite shot You had me at the edge of my seat when you were climbing that conveyor belt. So glad it held. 💪

[@tamarrajames3590]

Loving the new intro. These were superb examples of industrial architecture from distinct periods in time, and you did them justice with your recording. I now see the way your capture game helps prepare you for these infiltrations. I hope you continue to put caution high on your list of values...if you aren’t careful you could find yourselves being courted by the military for special ops and espionage 😏. The editing gave a truly cinematic sense of tension and danger...well done. 🖤🇨🇦

[@sherimcdaniel3491]

First I would like to say :you boys are absolutely NUTS: and NO, I wouldn't have tried it back when I was in shape to! All of the risks you took- very worth it (she says from the comfort of her apartment)! What a place. Wonder how much dismantling it is going to cost? Sounds like a prime example of "job security" to me. Thanks for sharing your explore with me! Stay safe and be well!

[@KloneOne1111]

Props to Tobi for exploring that spot solo and remembering enough to guide you guys. True hero haha

[@mr.ruinenfan8904]

Vielen Dank für diese 2 mega Locations in Episode 3 eures Ungarn-Roadtrips, BWT. Die Aufnahmen der beiden Kraftwerke; Kraftwerk 1 mit seiner leider langsam immer mehr verfallenden Originalausstattung und Art Deco Style ist mein Favorit; sind einfach nur spitze. Ich freue mich schon auf das nächste Video. Viele Grüße, einen schönen Sonntagabend und einen guten Wochenstart aus Norddeutschland 😊👏👍

[@MrL4t3]

Ah .. this agony of waiting is over 😁 .. Just started watching and can smell the quality 😄

[@MrL4t3]

Great ! Love abandoned factories and powerplants !

[@MrL4t3]

The control room looks like a 60's scifi movies spaceship bridge 😁 How awesome it must have looked in the operating days when everything was shiny and new. All equipment running .. and how many workers were occupied handling all the buttons and switches + following all the gauges.

[@MartinMcClellanGT]

Great video upload and wow that climbing does take some courage for sure! Great job!

[@bwturbex]

😅😅😅

[@ciarasinger1985]

Incredible as always! The control room kind of reminds me of that mediocre Golden Compass movie from the early 2000s

[@derpydog1008]

That control room is breathtaking 😍.

[@MOMOMeng]

All time best! Oh wow, how exciting this episode. Love the scene that sheep were standing in front of the power plant. And those three cooling towers, look like a "W" ;) Keep it up with the great work, can't wait for the next one!

Thank you very much, Momo. 🏌️‍♂️

I climbed up an elevator to get into an abandoned iron processing plant, luckily the floor was metal and not rotten wood. You guys are crazy, thanks for making this amazing content.

[@bwturbex]

If you want to shoot places like this, you probably just have to be crazy.

[@NPNGPhotography]

@@bwturbex also while there is construction, yeah you make a good point.

[@csongorvarga]

Nice one. You could have shown the area of the power plant, how much it is in the city now. I live probably 5 kms from that place. The other power plant was built in an area where there was aluminium production in the past. It was feeding electricity to the aluminium melting plant. Local bauxite ore was a lower quality and the entire mining operation was closed as pumping water from the mine was causing the hot spring thermal water supply of Heviz to dry up. And the decision was made that preserving the natural hot spring and the tourism industry was worth more than mining the aluminium industry. Therefore the plant finished its purpose as well.

[@EifelurbexerTV]

2 sehr interessante infiltrationen. Eure Videos sind gut gemacht, sie sind ein Maßstab.

[@bwturbex]

Wow, vielen lieben Dank!!!

[@thecolorpinkmusic]

That control room is like something out of an old tube junkies dreams. Holy shit the knobs and vu meters and cranks. I wanna just play with it all hahaha!! Amazing video as usual. You guys are killing it ✌️✌️✌️

So I just happened to stumble on this control room in a Netflix movie called "Outside the Wire". It was a real shock to go "Hey, I know that place!!" The bunker is there too, the control room is there in all it's glory, serving as a backdrop of a control room for a military unit. Neat movie so far.

[@ИльяПурел]

Nice places been shown on this video. Great job :)

[@1337fraggzb00N]

It is the Govorilka Power Plant near Krrrmsmotowsk. Even from a distance, everyone can hear its typical sound:"dysh dysh dysh dysh dysh dysh, tara, Taram, druin, druin druiny".
