My favorite was " Zeche Blumenthal" and old coal mine, still mostly intact. Sadly it will be demolished later this year.

That's amazing Pacifier! I love the old coal mine photos, what a great playground for an afternoon of adventure and photography. I need to back out and do some more exploring myself, I just never seem to find the time to do it.
Do you still get out and explore often? Any places you'd really like to get to but haven't?
One place I would LOVE to spend a week exploring is Prypiat (the abandoned city next to the Chernobyl nuclear plant for those who don't know). I just can't begin to imagine what it must be like to walk around a city that size and be all alone...it staggering to think about.
Anyway thanks for sharing those photos I really enjoyed them.
