What are you taking with you?
Does and don'ts on a location?
How do you find a location?
This is a question that the most urbexers probably will have heard. How do you find a location?
The names of the locations are usually not the real names of the building, this is a nickname given by the urbex world.
If you discovered the location yourself, you name it yourself.
The locations are never shared! What you do best is to search for yourself! For this, Google and Google Maps are your best friend!
You will not usually find an address after 20 minutes searching on the internet, this requires some hours.
Once you've found the location, you can only do one thing.
Go explore the location! Prepare for your trip, read the tips and keep them in mind!
Thanks and have fun!
