The Explore There's not much to say about this very well-known explore other than we went on holiday, got the train here, were a bit on edge, climbed through bushes, realised every photographer in Hungary was walking around inside here. Nature has truly reclaimed this place and it makes for...

Although the Day of Polish-Hungarian Friendship is officially celebrated on March 23, me and my friend decided to celebrate it this autumn in the best way we can: making a weekend urbex trip to Budapest. With great support from our Hungarian friends we managed to visit few really interesting...

During a fantastic long weekend trip to Hungary with my close friend TBM, and after a long list of annoying failures (the secca in Budapest appears to be very good and in even the derpiest of derps, though usually fairly pleasant and accepting but insist they must let you go), we successfully...
