Dynamit AG
A few days ago we went to visit a few lost buildings. I was a little worried about them being hard to reach, but we got to them very easily.
The factory was built around 1939 for the maufacturing of nitrocellulouse and was a part of the armament program of the NS-government.
There were around 130 Buildings built in a forest to stay hidden. Some of them were production-buildings, facilities for power-supplies and social buildings. The roofs were grown over with trees and other plants so they were even more difficult to spot. In the year 1941, shortly before completion of the factory, the cronstuction stopped, and even thought it started again in 1943, it was never completed and production never started.
1945 the US-troups repurposed it as an air force base and by 1949 stripped the buildings of all technical equipment. It was planned to blow all the buildings up, but that never happened. From 1958 to 1995 the facility was used by the bundeswehr for storage, and was bought by the nearby town in 1998, to build an industrial estat on it.
As I said before all buildings were easily accesible and most of the doors were missing so you could look around inside without a problem.
There were a lot of cool graffities, but sadly no objects (exept for some rubbish).
I felt like being on adrenaline for most of the time, mostly because I was worried about getting caught, but also because in almost all of the floors had big holes in that you could easily fall through in them and I almost stepped into one of them…
We’re almost a hundred percent sure, that there were other people with us in our first building, but we never saw them.
Sadly, we didn’t have enought time to visit the rest of the buildings, but we’ll pobably come back to look ag the rest someday.

Lost Places along Lake Garda
Hydroelectric Powerplant Rovereto (?)
I didn‘t find a lot of Information about this building, but it seems to be the ruin of the hydroelectric powerplant of Rovereto.
Visiting the ruins felt very warm, there were a lot of plants, but not as much as on Poveglia. I still got dschungle vibes from time to time with the flora climbing up the walls like veins.
There wasn‘t a lot to find, except for a basement (?) I didn‘t go into because it was pitch black in there and I‘ve watched enough horror movies.
Hydroelectric Powerplant Riva (?)
The next building seems to be the ruin of the hydroelectric powerplant of Riva, I didn‘t find anything about this building as well.
It looks like it was two or more structures along the mountain, but it‘s still smaller than the one from Rovereto. This, again were moslty ruins with not really anything there anymore but walls.
Casa della Trota
I‘ve wanted to visit this place since I knew it excisted, and this time I was closer to it than I ever was.
Sadly, we didn’t get to explore the building, but it still seemed so welcoming, like it was still a hotel and open for guests.
I still got to take some really nice pictures and got to look at this place from different perspectives. I will definitely try to get to it next time we visit italy.

Poveglia
A brief History:
421: first mentions of the Island Poveglia
1379: Evacuation due to an attack on the island
1645: Building of one of five oft the „Octagone“ in the lagoon of venice
1776: Becomes Checkpoint for people traveling to Venice by ship
1793: Island becomes temporary „Lazaretto“ becaue of cases of the plague on two ships
1805: Becomes permanent „Lazaretto“, destruction of the church San Vitale, clocktower becomes lighthouse
1814: Lazaretto closes it‘s doors
1922: Existing Buildings become Psychiatric Hospital are converted to a retirement home later
1968: Retirement home closes its doors and Poveglia is briefly used for agriculture
2014/15: Plans are being made to convert the Island into a luxury-resort, a park with restaurants, a Hotel and a marina, ect.
Buildings and other places
Clocktower: built in the 12th century, was a part of San Vitale
Psychiatric Hospital: „Reparto Psichiatria“
Church
„Cavana“
Bridge: leads to fields and trees
Plague Pits: burial grounds for the victims of the plague
Houses for living and offices
It is also said to have a prison building, but that is not confirmed.
Legends
A doctor ,who is said to have practiced lobotomies, allegedly jumped from the clocktower in 1930. Some patients saw his ghost on the island.
The Ground on the Island is said to be 50% human remains.
Countless ghosts of plague-victims and patients of the mental hospital are rumoured to be at the island
It was really nice and calm on Poveglia, as far as I know we were the only people on the island when we explored the buildings.
Nobody is taking care of the place at the moment, so everything was overgrown by the plants. It almost felt like you had to fight your way through a dschungle sometimes, you could really feel nature being back in control of the whole island.
There were a lot of birds, mostly pidgeons, which acted as little jumpscares from time to time. I also could have sworn that I‘ve heard footsteps in the bushes, but that probably was a bird as well.
I‘ve never felt uncomfortable at any point, it was really really nice and I whish we could have stayed a little longer. I hope I‘ll get to come back some day and explore a little more, maybe cross the bridge this time and explore another building we didn‘t have time for.
Time really seemed to be frozen on Poveglia, sadly some people still leave their rubbish there, but you can still kind of feel the days, before Poveglia was abandoned.

January Explorations
Factory
The first place we explored was a small old factory. Sadly, I couldn't really find anything about the buildings on the internet.
The site was pretty easy to access, the buildings however, not so much.
The atmosphere there is pretty difficult to describe. It still had the industrial area vibes but the longer we stayed there, the more I wanted to leave.
Garden and landscape construction business
Again, I didn't really find anything about the buildings, but they seemed to be residential buildings with a shed and two big garages.
The site was surrounded by a constuction fence, which was really easy to get around. All the doors stood wide open, making all the buildings really easy to enter.
In contrast to the factory, the longer we stayed here the more at ease I felt, almost at home. there also was a little stream flowing next to one of the houses, which made the whole atmosphere even more chill.
I'd really like to visit at day sometime again, I bet everything would look really magical in some soft warm lighting!
Next to these buildings stood a
Mill
This time I found a little more about the building, apperently there were plans to demolish it, but it's under monument protection so it's still standing?
We probably could have entered through an open Window, sadly I only realized it when I was looking a little closer at the pictures...
