[@adventkrates3992]

Hey Josh thanks for the video. But as much as I love to see all of your crazy expeditions, I hope you're really careful with your findings too. Your works are epic! Take care stay safe over there👊

[@joshtheintern]

Don't worry I am as safe as possible when out on my adventures. I have a lot of equipment I don't really show the camera including an air monitor so I am always careful when exploring. Thanks so much for your continued support of the channel! I am so glad that you enjoy my videos and I am grateful for your support!

[@6yearsago627]

[@langdalepass]

Hi, great videos, if i may say i think it would be worth showing your extra equipment and the importance of it, for eg, the air monitor you mentioned so as to alert less experienced people to some of the dangers and responsible personal safety, especially when exploring alone. Keep up the great videos​@@joshtheintern

[@markmartello]

The 2 metal "pill boxes" on the top weren't for machine guns. They were for shooting bearings to the target ships. If you know the distance between the two points, and the angles to the target you can calculate the range very quickly. That information was passed to the guns for targeting.

[@AxelZero-w4q]

Use glow stick or flare to know how deep it is. A d go back here. Show us what presents are down there

[@The_algor1thm]

If wood is kept dry and not exposed to UV radiation or consumed by pests, it can last indefinitely. The fact that wood is still present doesn't necessarily imply that the site was abandoned recently. This was an interesting adventure, though.

[@TheTomm101]

Yep. I've worked at a castle that is still running but as a wedding venue. Beams in most of the ceiling vaults are over 900 years old, carrying stone, and still going strong.

I knew it had to be in that area somewhere. Soviets had a lot of stuff there.

[@dbryn2]

@@pointsur67 Yugoslavia was never controlled by the Soviet Union. Influenced yes, but not controlled. Moreover, the video (and Wikipedia) states that this fort was created by the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the late 19th century...so this was not the work of the Soviets

[@adamh9077]

You need a small drone with a light and camera to fly down these small tunnels and see where they lead

[@zoominthroughspace2583]

That’s a really good idea!

[@markhaseley3304]

I can understand when a culture or society falls that such structures might be abandoned, but in the present day, I just am stunned by such massive investment into structure and infrastructure just being cast away without repurpose or sale of such valuable acreage.

[@joshtheintern]

Agreed! It would of been a huge amount of time and resources to create these things

Nice URBEX find! It's places like this I cannot understand why someone doesn't buy it up and restore it into a doomsday facility, complete with lighting, generators, ventilation and perimeter fencing. So much potential!

[@N1withaskillet]

If you don't understand why nobody wants to buy or live there try doing so and you'll find out why it is abandoned. So much cost for a nasty wet hole in the ground.

[@Epiphany_nz]

Why not take a 360 camera ball (attached to very, very long fishing line for retrieval) with you to drop into the deep hole?

[@mikemocon8582]

This would be amazing to make into a home An elevator down to the sub base, what a cool boat house that would make.

So true!

[@mikemocon8582]

It always gets me how much work people will put in to destroy something.

[@kittenmittenkitten]

14:00 is one of the coolest moments I've seen in an video like this, so I thought I'd take a deeper look. This is just my interpretation, and I'm not an expert in this. Identifying the runes, they don't strictly follow any sort of specific runic alphabet, there's a mix here. The main one is Old Hungarian, which makes sense given it being an Austro-Hungarian fort. However, there are plenty of much more well known old Germanic runes, Odal, Ansuz, Berkanan. If they're here for any particular reason, my guess is it's for their "magical" use. More magical imagery would be the cross pattern sigil on the other wall, which clearly is inspired by Icelandic Magical Staves and similar symbols, though doesn't take after any in particular. As for the nearby spiral pattern, I'd say that's uh, for shock value. Can't blame them, it certainly worked on me. Almost thought this was a promo for the next season of True Detective for a second. All in all, what I'm leaning towards for the whole set of carvings is that it's just someone goofing around. The only thing that gives me pause is the use of Old Hungarian, which suggests something deeper and more... cultured? Either way, those are my two cents on the carvings. Must have been a real shock to go from pointing out the lack of graffiti to... that. The ladder was another great moment, and likewise with everyone else I'm glad you didn't try going down it. I don't think anything would be worth the risk, and hey - it leaves a cool mystery out there.

[@danielapetersen8741]

Thanks, I was hoping someone would have any insight on that! It was the most mysterious bit of the video, but no one is commenting.

[@_m_te_3693]

the comment i was looking for, been wondering about those runese

[@scotbotvideos]

Well, you weren't wrong at all, Josh, for that was indeed a most epic adventure. Glad you didn't go down that shaft on the wall-mounted ladder. If it broke, as it probably would have done, it would have been good night Vienna for you, and nobody wants that, eh.

[@JerrePictures]

Dobrec Beach is the name of this place you can drive to the base with a 4x4 like I did But what about the history of the submarines? Let me explain The Austro-Hungarian submarine fleet was established in the decade leading up to World War I, built in various designs, many of them under license from Germany. These submarines carried out operations during the war against Italian, French, and British ships in the Mediterranean Sea and had some success, but unfortunately, eight out of the twenty-eight serviceable submarines were lost. The Austro-Hungarian submarine fleet was reinforced by the Pola Flotilla of the German Imperial Navy, mainly consisting of coastal submarines transported by rail from northern shipyards in Germany to Austrian ports on the Adriatic Sea. After the end of the war in 1918, all Austrian submarines were handed over to the Entente powers, who individually transported them away. Since then, no Austrian or Hungarian submarines (or other naval vessels) have been commissioned because Austria and Hungary were completely cut off from the sea after the war. Some sources refer to Austro-Hungarian submarines using Roman numerals as a way to distinguish them from German submarines with similar numbers, but the Austro-Hungarian navy itself used Arabic numerals. There are gaps in the numbering for various reasons. A series of Austro-Hungarian submarines under construction in Germany were sold and commissioned by the German Imperial Navy. In other cases, submarines in service with the German Imperial Navy were temporarily assigned to Austro-Hungarian numbers during their operations in the Mediterranean Sea. Superstition was a final reason for the unassigned U-13s

[@TheBlackAxe1]

That’s an interesting piece of history there. Thanks!

[@joesmith-es1zy]

Some parts of it seem to be much older, the one building and pillbox were dated 1896 and 1897.

[@JerrePictures]

@joesmith-es1zy The bunker dates back to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. I have written a blog about the area, "The Curse of Kabbalah (Luštica)," but I'm not here for self-promotion. However, there is a book I can highly recommend that includes the accurate history of these locations, along with many other hidden spots in the area: The Austro-Hungarian Fortresses of Montenegro: A Hiker’s Guide.(I did not write this guide)

[@joesmith-es1zy]

@@JerrePictures Thanks. It's interesting that the pillbox roofs are stamped with the date when they were made. I'm assuming it's because of military specs.

[@infidel202]

Thanks for the info, nice to know the history of the area

[@paulthomasshepherd5156]

The amazing part is to see such huge solid structures and wonder how they even transported the cement and stone etc. up there to build it with, and then tho accomplish the construction work,

[@joshtheintern]

It would have taken a lot of people and a lot of time! It is crazy that it was then just abandoned

[@jason.martin]

@@joshtheintern Do you know the history of when the started to build it? when it was finished and when it was abandoned?

Thank you Josh for showin us around this cool old fort! Love the longer videos too! 😊

[@joshtheintern]

[@bau667]

You should do some geocaching, so you‘d get introduced to your „mysterious“ places by some profound listings. Been there a few years ago, you can drive up almost to the forts entrance, sub base is covered by a cache too. And you missed the large double sub base east of Roze. There are also geoacaches around your former hike from Perast. Just for your interest. Keep up your good work!

[@EdsonMendes-e4o]

I think it would be interesting if you could show how you got to this place, like filming and detailing the route, means of transportation and such. All that was missing was going down that ladder at 9:39 for the exploration to be complete, but your safety comes first. You made an incredible record. What a cool adventure, yes I really enjoyed it. Always take care of yourself Josh. Hugs from Brazil.

[@MozartMeerkittten]

Really cool forts! Loved seeing more inside the buildings and the submarine base. I do want to mention that I'm *not* particularly a fan of the creepy music when you were in the underground rooms. 😅 Part of the reason I've enjoyed your videos so much is that there isn't much of that, it really gets my anxiety up. I did find it really fascinating that in spite of this being a more modern fort, it follows the tradition of ancient castles in having many lines of defense (like the gun slits on the walls beside where a door would have been, multiple doors to get in, etc). It reminds me of Carcassone in France and Lachish in ancient Israel. (Lachish had SO MANY defensive gates, it's wild, and Carcassone is a castle I've been too and find really cool but its defenses were common for when it was built) I don't know as much about how modern fortifications are constructed, so I really enjoyed seeing that this one is built just like castles and fortresses had been built for millennia! Thanks for the close up look!

[@joshtheintern]

Thanks so much for watching and I totally understand, I thought the places were quite creepy so I wanted to make it more atmospheric. Some people enjoy the more creepy vibe but I understand it's not for everyone. I'll try balance between the two in my videos and only use the music if it matches how I felt exploring the place. That is really fascinating! They must have taken inspiration from earlier designs. I couldn't imagine trying to attack that fort, it seems it would be near impossible. I'd love to visit Carcassone one day, it looks spectacular!

Considering it's 130 years old with a lot of that time being more than likely neglected, and where it's located, I'd say it's in remarkably good condition. Build in stone, it lasts forever.
