Amazing awesomeness at Heilstatte Grabowsee Part 2

I had to go back to this awesome place and did a few weeks later in October. The first trip was amazing but we didn't have time to see anything other than one building. This time we got there with more time to spare and it was great. STILL haven't seen it all, so stay tuned for part 3 :)

Nature taking it back step by step

Amazing sights like this are abundant here.  However when you're on the 2nd floor you have to wonder what it is you're standing on. And do you go up to the 3rd...?

We did and found this guy in the middle of the hallway.

Staircases like these seemed like the most secure places, even without the railings.

Left over from a music video. A great location for a horror film shoot or a sequel to The Shinning. This room was saying REDRUM!

The video is for Brandt Brauer Frick, here. I wonder if they went to the 3rd floor?

Tschüss.

Amazing awesomeness at Heilstätte Grabowsee

 I finally found time to visit this truly awesome abandoned hospital just outside of Berlin. A former sanatorium for tuberculosis patients and later used as a Russian military hospital. Heilstätte Grabowsee was built about 100 years ago but abandoned in the 90's apparently. Now its slowly falling apart out in the woods. The buildings are huge, there are corridors and hidden stairwells and rooms beyond rooms that seem to go on forever.

We traveled from the Ubahn train station by bike to an (appropriately) abandoned railway bridge. Beyond this was forest, swamp and eerie awesomeness...

About to enter Wonderland...

Red glow at the end of the hall.....

The basement of this place is really creepy. A long dark corridor with small rooms leading off. It almost felt like these were solitary confinement rooms, each with a dark pit.

  We only had time (3 hours) to see one building! We didn't have time to search the others. I'm going back again:) All we took were pictures, all we left were footprints.
