Underground secrets: Cold War bunker with power still on

[@bwturbex]

We just returned from an exploring road trip in Germany. Our next episode (abandoned Soviet ghost town) will be already an adventure from that journey! Some members of our team are fully vaccinated which means we can launch international projects again very soon! In fact, we are planning to head back to Italy next month to shoot the third season of the fan-favorite urbex series Abandoned Italy! Later, starting in July, we want to do a multiple-week-long road trip to Eastern Europe with a Lada - that will be quite the experience! If you guys have any suggestions for upcoming adventures, want to collaborate, know cool people we should meet, or have any other tips: Please send us a message on Instagram or Facebook, or send us an email: [e-mail]

[@ericdanielski4802]

Maybe you can meet Bald and Bankrupt.

[@bwturbex]

@@ericdanielski4802 Yeah, good idea. Let's see if we find a way to contact him.

[@Tempted_Lotus]

I’m so glad some of you are protected and planning on more videos already 🤗 please stay safe. I hope everyone is able to be vaccinated (if they chose) so we can continue to see your beautiful videos .

[@alexconcepcion1]

I love your vídeos !!!! One kiss !❤️

[@donoester6744]

I did see you comment on one or more of his videos but a meetup with PPPeter would be cool - he can most likely be serious too :-D. What part of Eastern Europe have you been thinking about visiting?

[@nckl]

why do people always destroy these places… they ruining things for everyone and I can understand why owners lock them away from the public.

[@bwturbex]

Yeah absolutely. The owner must have been so pissed off.

[@nckl]

@@bwturbex definitely, I find it frustrating to see these historic places destroyed. I really appreciate the way you guys act around the locations you explore. Always respectful and not causing any trouble, while documenting them for us before they decay completely. Keep it up!

[@Peter-nv3wu]

It's amazing to see decommissioned bunker in this condition, Do you know if it was sold with a "take back clause" if the bunker was needed at some point in the future for "official" use ? It makes no sense whatsoever why some "so called" explorers smash everything they possibly can, then cover the walls with graffiti resulting in the fact that what was once an untouched bunker, is now totally wrecked ! Personally I can't help but feel sorry for the owners when they have to pour concrete into the entrances and exit's in an attempt keep mindless vandals out. Thank you so much for taking us with you !

[@Wistful77]

@@ncklyes, very frustrating. It is only the good explorers like these guys, that we will ever see. Vandals do not record their destructive activities because they know it is wrong. ;]

[@berndbrater9958]

It is not only that. If someone gets injuried on the area, the owner is held accountable for the accident. Best of german law.

[@plumbawl5977]

The Opening Scenes were OuTsTanDing! Your Artistic Filming, Music, and Story telling Work is greatly appreciated!

[@grannybucks]

It's so unfortunately the ignorance that people have towards these places and destroy them,you guys do great work,I always look forward to your videos!

[@henkduit4225]

Beautiful! And amazing the intact switchboards! I've been once in the Regierungsbunker im Ahrtal. There you also can see how it was in the cold war period. This bunker is partly restored and open for the public.

[@bwturbex]

Those switchboards really were something special! We hope this bunker opens as a museum one day.

[@GamingWithEdou]

Great video guy's. It is crazy that the power is still working.

Those poor hedgehogs. :'( Otherwise great and interesting video! (I also confirmed what the odd metal and concrete flap in one of my city's parks is - always suspected a bunker but now I'm sure. Looks jus like the ones you showed us in the end.)

[@KK-hq8jd]

Randomly found yall...so glad I did! Wow that bunker is pristine...in comparison to the few in the usa! Thanks for sharing

[@bwturbex]

Is this the first video you found of us?

[@KK-hq8jd]

[@KK-hq8jd]

@@bwturbex & I truly enjoyed every moment! Right on down to seeing the large round old entryway, all sealed up!

[@NortheastSurvival911]

The few in the usa? Hahaha guess again. There's a shift load of bunkers like this in the United States of varying levels of size and quality. You'd be surprised how many people actually believe nuclear war was coming and either went out on their own to establish small ones or a collaborative mix of resources and made larger ones they're everywhere.

[@katherinekinnaird4408]

I now live 30 miles south from an original Raido Free Europe transmission sight in Southern California USA. I enjoy learning about the history of Europe. Thanks for traveling and sharing.

[@johnloengard8817]

Amazing video! Congrats guys! Congrats to Marco and Toby who have been brave enough to spend some hours sleeping in the Bunker. It's incredible how cool and well preserved it was. As you said this place should become a sort of Cold War museum. I really hope that it won't be vandalized anymore. I loved so much this episode. Keep goin' guys!

[@williamholmes9195]

I really do not understand vandalism? I respect that you do not disturb anything that you find. You are more historians than anything. You want to show how things was in the past. Best Wishes and Hope you guys all stay safe.

[@garyjones2582]

Would be nice to have one of those in your backyard.. I wish our Titan 1 missile silos were in that condition.. When decommissioned they pulled out all the pumps and things went downhill from there... Great video, thx for taking us along for the ride...

Interesting to see the German side. However, nice to see that the CZK REP has kept 800 bunkers operational after all these years. Great video, would be a great tourist site except for the red tape for health and safety..

[@MS-xh7cw]

The fact that those assholes damaged that bunker is why responsible explorers often hide where they are exactly so others can’t follow.

[@1974solar]

Interessantes Video. Nur die Frage: Habt ihr den Einsteig wieder so verschlossen, dass nicht noch einmal ein Tier dort unten verenden kann? Ist mir schon ein wenig ein Anliegen - für ein Mensch der sich in diese Gefahr begibt, kann das rational selbst entscheiden. Aber ein Tier kann nicht klettern und weiss daher die mögliche Gefahr nicht, was in diesem Bunker erwartet. Allein die Falltiefe. Aber sehr schöne Aufnahmen. ;)

[@glennwall552]

Bet they are using them right now in Marapole.

[@xelionizer]

The threat is still and always will be very real for us mere mortals, who don't know the location or have access to these shelters.

The paper towel burner in the toilet wasn’t use to make heat for the bunker ..... it’s to small and wouldn’t be used enough to make heat iv seen these in Uk bunkers and they in no way make heat for bunkers 13:13 the valve is closed even tho he is turning the handle so no air is coming in

[@rolfsinkgraven]

Very nice explore, i wonder if the flooding did any damage too the crucial parts of that system.

[@ukukubarsepp7611]

Imagine the owner getting an electric bill for the bunker usage of electricity. The owner would probably be really confused that he got a bill for the bunkers electricity.

How important was Germany in the cold war?

[@bwturbex]

Well, it was one of the frontlines. There was the wall separating the country into Western and Eastern Germany. Western Germany was an ally to NATO while Eastern Germany was friends with the USSR. Luckily, Germany could be united again when the Iron Curtain fell.

The true meaning of Urban Exploration you take nothing except memories and photos and leave nothing except foot prints behind in the dust on the floor !!
