I have watched it for years now, deteriorating in such an incredible, beautifully destructive way. From the initial abandonment when all was still fairly pristine - shop windows intact - to looking like a bomb dropped - windows smashed and glass tossed all around as trees begin to grow wildly throughout. This is definitely one of the most bizarre "forests" you will ever take a hike through.
You could call it a winter wonderland, though I feel that would not be doing it proper justice; it was much more than that. Constantly shifting weight from so much snow after years of neglect had weakened the glass of skylights above, causing ceilings to bust open overhead. It was as if clouds had fallen from the sky, filling this normally dark and desolate destruction with a brand new, much brighter life.
A mysterious trestle of some kind rises out of the forest along the KVR trail. I'm guessing that it was abandoned at some point due to the railway being realigned to decrease the curvature of the track.

Hit 'L' to view on large. This castle has it’s rumours. There are the stories about the man in the jeep and his accomplice on the scooter watching over this castle. The castle was built in 1860 by an marquis who lived in the town and it still is in Royal’s hands. Apparently, the owners cannot agree about a plan to preserve the heritage and therefore the place is left abandoned without having anybody to care for it. The impromptu 2 day tour with camerashy and host to France and Belgium, with some new places, a lot of travel with minimal sleep and some goals being accomplished by getting to a certain school.
