As soon as we climbed out of the depths of the underground factory, we headed for the abandoned factory. Even though there’s nothing left here and it’s all in ruins, this place has a certain vibe… Because you can climb all the way up to the roof here.

We went to a place you wouldn't even think could be interesting... when you walk by, it just looks like a small, abandoned house, but there's a huge network of cellars underneath it.

Today we headed to an old abandoned factory, but getting there wasn’t exactly easy. We had to climb onto the roof without a ladder and then make our way down to this Avia truck along some old, rotten beams. Anyway, we made it through, and it was definitely worth it...

Did you know that some walls hold more memories than entire generations? This house is exactly that kind of place. Standing in the heart of the mountains as a silent witness to the passage of time, today we invite you on a little journey into its past. From a history you won’t find in modern resorts: 🐎 The Era of Carriage Drivers: Long ago, when the valley echoed only with the pounding of horses’ hooves and the crack of whips, this place served as a safe haven for weary lumberjacks and merchants. 🎩 First Republic charm: During the First Republic, the building was transformed into an elegant inn. The city’s elite came here for the fresh air and architecture that perfectly combines sturdy stone with fragrant wood. 🔥 Under the patron’s protection: The building was named after the patron saint of fire protection. In the mountains, where wood reigned supreme, this was not just a tradition, but a deep reverence and a plea for safety. 🏠 A living tradition: Even after decades of changing regimes and guests, the character of this place remains the same. It is an authentic mountain classic that doesn’t try to be anything it isn’t. Today, it’s a place where, after a strenuous climb to the peaks, you’ll find peace, a plate of hot food, and an atmosphere steeped in history. Stop by to soak up the tranquility you won’t find anywhere else!

Once a prestigious address at the foot of Smrk Mountain, today the most famous ruin in the Beskydy Mountains. Do you remember your vacations at MSPO (later Dolina)? HISTORY IN BRIEF: 1970s–1980s: The golden age. Exclusive ROH vacation destination, movie theater, swimming pool, and 120 beds always in use. Appearance: A modern concrete colossus, a symbol of socialist luxury for the working class. ​After 1989: Privatized as the Dolina Hotel. Attempts to host weddings and school field trips couldn’t cover the massive operating costs. ​2012: The definitive end. The lights went out, the doors locked, and time took over. ​Today, the complex is a paradise for urban explorers and a sad memento slowly being swallowed by the forest. 🌿✨

Treasures left untouched by time... 🕰️🏚️ Today we crossed the border into Poland and discovered a place where time has literally stood still. An abandoned farmhouse that looked unassuming from the outside, but took our breath away on the inside. ​It’s not just bare walls. There are dishes on the table, clothes in the closets, and tools in the corner, as if the owner had just stepped out to the fields and never returned. That feeling of standing in the middle of a stranger’s life that simply “ended” is indescribable. 😶 📸 Technical Notes: Gear: Canon EOS 1000D Edit: Canva Premium

Hi, on April 6, 2026, we were in an abandoned house. From the outside, you wouldn’t even have guessed that the house was abandoned, so it was a miracle that we managed to get in...

Once the jewel of the Nízký Jeseník Mountains, today a fascinating ruin. Janské Koupele has gone from being a luxury spa for the elite to total decline. 🏛️🌑 Quick facts: 📍 Treatment: In the 19th century, mineral springs were used here to treat heart and nervous system conditions. 📍 Turning point: After 1945, it served as a ROH convalescent home for thousands of workers. 📍 The End: The gates closed permanently in 1994 due to property disputes. ​Since then, the complex has fallen into disrepair and now attracts only lovers of abandoned places. But better times are on the horizon—the new owner has taken the first steps toward its restoration. ✨🔨

Hi, on April 2, 2026, I headed to an old abandoned factory, which is one of my favorite urban exploration spots. For me, this visit was mainly about reminiscing, since this was my fifth time back here, and this place always has a unique atmosphere. The urban exploration trip was very successful and also a bit nostalgic, since the factory is scheduled to be demolished next year, so this was likely my last visit to this building. The photos were taken with a Canon EOS 1000D camera and then edited in Canva to best capture the atmosphere of the abandoned industrial space and the authentic character of this place.

Hello, on March 28, 2026, I set out to explore a now nearly forgotten giant hotel that was once one of the most striking buildings in the area. Unfortunately, this place is currently heavily looted and severely damaged, which only serves as a reminder of how quickly such structures can fall into oblivion. Nevertheless, it still possesses a unique charm and atmosphere that you’d be hard-pressed to find elsewhere. The entire space feels very peaceful and quiet, as if time had stopped here. The highlight was undoubtedly the climb to the hotel’s roof, which offers a beautiful view of the surrounding area. It is precisely this view that gives the place a special energy and reveals its former potential. As you can see in the photos, the panorama is truly worth seeing.

Hi, on March 27, I visited a place that the locals call "Motloch the Farmer's Homestead," but when you get there, you realize that Motloch is long gone... no one has lived in this house for a very long time. We're talking about as long as 30 years. From the documents I found inside, I discovered that the last newspapers were delivered here in 1988. Technical Information: The photos were taken with a Canon EOS 1000D camera and then edited in Canva.

Hi, on March 17, 2026, I set out to explore a truly forgotten little house, tucked away from everyday life. As soon as I arrived, it was clear that people had abandoned this place a long time ago. Nature is gradually reclaiming the surroundings, and the house itself looks inconspicuous, almost as if it were trying to vanish from the face of the earth. Inside, however, it was completely different. The entire interior gave the impression that time had stood still here. Things remained exactly as the owner had once left them—furniture, personal items, and the little things of everyday life still lie in their places. The atmosphere was strange, quiet, and at times even chilling. Each room told its own story and evoked a time when the house was still full of life. It’s strange to stand in a place where ordinary daily life once unfolded, and today to hear only the creaking of old wood and the sounds of the surrounding nature. Places like this carry a strong atmosphere of the past and make one reflect on how quickly time can change the fate of a home. 📸 Technical info: Camera: Canon EOS 1000D The photos were subsequently edited in Canva. 🎥 A video from this visit will be released on my YouTube channel later this month. 📜 Interesting facts about the location: This house has never gone through probate, which means that no one has officially inherited it, and it has long remained without an actual owner to take care of it. This is one of the main reasons why it is now falling into disrepair and gradually succumbing to the passage of time and the elements. Another interesting fact is that the property is located in an area designated as a protected deposit zone. Due to this status, the house cannot be freely disposed of, nor can any major alterations or demolition be carried out. The house thus remains trapped between the past and the law—it stands in its place, but its future is very uncertain. Today, this abandoned cottage serves as a quiet reminder of human destinies and of the time that stood still here years ago. Although the place is gradually disappearing, it still carries within it the stories of the people who once lived here, as well as the atmosphere of a long-forgotten home.

Hello, on March 9, 2026, I visited this abandoned camp for the fourth time. Every time I come back here, I am saddened by the state it is in today. Most of the buildings are gradually falling into disrepair, some parts of the complex are already starting to crumble, and nature is slowly reclaiming the entire site. It is strange to see a place that was once full of life, children's laughter, and camp activities, now in such a quiet and abandoned state. Unfortunately, it is clear that it will never look the same as it did many years ago when the summer camp was in operation. The photos were taken with a Canon EOS 1000D camera and then edited in Canva. A video from this visit will be released on my YouTube channel in March. History of the complex The roots of this complex date back to the period after World War II, when corporate recreation began to develop significantly in Czechoslovakia. Large industrial enterprises, especially mines, smelters, and other heavy industry, built recreational facilities for their employees and their families. Mountain areas were ideal for this purpose thanks to their clean environment, nature, and opportunities for active recreation. During the 1950s and 1960s, many recreational centers were built, including this one. It served primarily as a summer camp for the children of industrial workers. The entire complex consisted of several accommodation cabins, a main building with a dining room, social areas, facilities for leaders, and various sports and leisure areas. The complex reached its peak during the 1970s and 1980s. Every summer, several camps were held here, usually lasting two to three weeks. Dozens to hundreds of children from various cities in industrial regions came to the camp. The program was typical for children's camps at the time – there were camp-wide games, trips to the surrounding countryside, sports competitions, campfires, evening programs, and various competitions and activities in the forest. For many children, staying at such camps was one of the main events of their holidays. It was a place where new friendships were formed, adventures in nature were experienced, and memories were made that people often remember even after many years. However, after 1989, the situation changed significantly. With the fall of the socialist system, the system of company recreation, which was financed by state-owned enterprises, gradually disappeared. Many recreational facilities lost their original funding and their operation became economically difficult. A number of similar complexes were sold to private owners, converted into other buildings, or completely abandoned. This complex was no exception to these changes. During the 1990s, its operation was gradually terminated and the place began to fall into disrepair. Since then, the condition of the buildings has deteriorated every year. Some buildings have succumbed to time, weather, or vandalism, while others still stand, but their structures are often significantly damaged. Today, this abandoned complex serves as a silent reminder of a time when similar recreational complexes were a common part of many children's vacation life. Although the place is now abandoned, it still carries a piece of history and memories of a time when it was full of life.

Hi, on March 3, 2026, I returned to my favorite urbex spot after five months. Unfortunately, this location has changed significantly during that time. Unknown people have severely vandalized the place, and what used to be a very well-preserved location has now become a semi-preserved abandoned building. It is sad to see how quickly such places can lose their original atmosphere and unique charm. Urbex locations often deteriorate on their own, but human intervention significantly accelerates their demise. The photos were taken with a Canon EOS 1000D camera and then edited in Canva. A video of the exploration of this location will be released in April on the DolikFM.productions YouTube channel. I am not yet familiar with the history of the building, but I will gradually research it. As soon as I obtain more information about the past of this building, I will add it here.

On March 1, 2026, I set out for a well-known abandoned hospital, which for many years has been one of the most striking dilapidated buildings of its kind. Upon arrival, the complex appears monumental, but at the same time oppressive. The facade is peeling, the windows are empty, and the silence is broken only by the wind rushing through the corridors. From the moment you step inside, you can sense that this place has seen more than just ordinary years of operation. The interiors are full of traces of time. Long corridors, remnants of equipment, layers of dust, and plaster falling from the ceilings create an atmosphere that seems almost frozen in time. Each room tells its own story – from former wards to operating rooms to technical facilities. The contrast between the former hustle and bustle of medical staff and today's silence is strong and difficult to describe. Unfortunately, this was my first and last visit here. The building is awaiting renovation, which will definitively end its era as an urbex location. On the one hand, it is good that the historic building will be restored, but on the other hand, the raw atmosphere that this place has created over the years of abandonment will disappear. Photos taken with: Canon EOS 1000D Video will be released on YouTube in March Photos edited in Canva Brief history of the building The hospital complex was built at the end of the 19th century, between 1895 and 1897, as a modern medical facility of its time. It was built in the Neo-Gothic style from red brick and consisted of a main pavilion complemented by additional wings and separate buildings. The complex also included a chapel and technical facilities. For more than a century, the building served the public and was gradually expanded to meet the needs of modern medicine. In the 20th century, it was one of the key healthcare facilities in the region. Over time, however, it ceased to meet technical and operational requirements, and healthcare was moved to a new complex. At the beginning of the 21st century, operations were permanently shut down. After its closure, the complex quickly fell into disrepair. The unguarded buildings became a target for vandals and gradually lost most of their equipment and technical features. The once prestigious hospital became a ruin, which today serves as a silent reminder of its past.

On February 27, 2026, I set out to explore an inconspicuous hall that at first glance looks like an ordinary ruin of no great significance. From the outside, the building does not look exceptional—a peeling facade, silence, and minimal signs of life. This made the moment when I stepped inside all the more powerful. The atmosphere of the empty space, the subdued light penetrating through the dusty windows, and the ubiquitous dust created an environment that seemed almost frozen in time. However, what was inside completely changed my first impression. In the hall, I discovered an old Volkswagen, a boat, and, above all, the car that became the highlight of the entire visit—an old Corvette C4. Seeing such cars hidden in an abandoned space has a special charm. The contrast between the once luxurious and valuable machines and the dilapidated environment around them creates a powerful visual and emotional experience. Every detail, from the layer of dust to the rusty structures, underscores the feeling of oblivion and time passing differently here. For urbex enthusiasts, this is a place that offers not only visually impressive moments, but also space to reflect on how quickly a functional object can turn into an abandoned shell with unexpected contents. The photos were taken with a Canon EOS 1000D camera. A video from this visit will be posted on YouTube in March 2026. The photos were edited in Canva. Brief history of the building The building was constructed in 1972 and originally served as a veterinary facility. The complex included administrative offices, treatment rooms, stables, a boiler room, and garages, which formed a fully functional operational unit. The building had a clear purpose and played an important role for many years. Later, the complex was taken over by a private company that operated light manufacturing there. The space thus remained active and adapted to its new purpose. Over time, however, operations ceased and the building has been unused since 2006. Today, the complex stands as a silent reminder of its past. The dilapidated structure and abandoned interiors bear the marks of time, but at the same time hide unexpected finds that give this place its unique character.
