The nature is spectacular in this abandoned area

Wrong turn, part II - the abandoned military area

This is part 2 of the story. Catch up with part 1 here

After making it through the ghastly woods, we have made the clearing, which once, years ago, has been used as a military base of some sorts.

On the first glance, there is no actual proof that there ever was anything here, just an empty field on the edge of the forest. With a second look however, one would start to notice the remnants of military structures. Concrete fence posts are still watching over this place, bunkers dug in the ground. And on the other edge of the field, when you peek over the edge of the cliff, you can see deserted buildings and entrances to the tunnels, which are our ultimate targets to explore.

We are trying to carefully peek a look down the cliff. This pine is growing right on the edge

One misstep and down you fall. There are some ghastly pools of dark water down there, so you'd better watch your step.

One can see abandoned military buildings, camouflaged in the the surroundings, down there.

One of our targets, an entrance to the underground caves, is visible. Now is the time to remind everyone of an excellent underground exploration horror movie The Descent. If you are a horror fan and you haven't watched it yet, please make sure you do.

Backing away from the cliffside, we explore the rest of the area. The weather is suspiciously nice. But one must always watch his step, as the place is riddles with sinkholes, that take you tumbling down the tunnels. Who knows, where you'll end up.

Don't want to fall into one of those

Another sinkhole. These seem to be getting larger. Better head back to the road and not wonder around aimlessly.

Two bunkers can be seen dug in the hills. Taking a closer look.

Looks almost like a painting, doesn't it?

An entrance of some sorts on one of the bunkers. Not sure if this leads only into the bunkers or also into the tunnels. Not going to find out right now either, it looks wet and damp down there.

Hell's yeah! Now this is one of the entrances to the tunnels, where we will be heading to explore next. Flashlights ho!
