Happy holidays everybody and thanks for another year of your support.
From January 1st 2023 there will be regular uploads on Sunday again, starting with episodes from the United States, France and Japan!
PLEASE GIVE US SOME FEEDBACK!
In this improved 360 episode we take you again to an incredible blast furnace which is currently being demolished. We now use microphones to talk and tried to minimize the wobbling and you automatically follow us.
All right we're back at our favorite hang spot, our Covid hang spot. Covid hangout.
And this is test number, I don't know, number six or seven. At least. At least, but now we have to
hurry because demolition started. But for now I think it's only like preparation works, taking
stuff and garbage out of buildings. But in the next couple of weeks I think the big work
could be. Then it goes fast and then the whole experience is a bit ruined.
You don't want to end up like in a construction site. I don't like that vibe. Now it's still
now it's pristine. Yeah and also nicer to overgrown. I think they will also
tear down all the trees around. They will cut everything and because they want to create space
of course for trucks and lorries and all the kind of stuff. So we bought external microphones
and also we're not going indoor anymore because you guys said it was too dark. So we're gonna
take a nice scenic route. And we want to offer you the best. Yeah. And nothing but the best.
No but it's really dark. All the corridors and the conveyor belts are. It's dark yeah.
Perhaps on a sunny summer day you think it's fine. Yeah. But now it's end of October. Oh yeah true.
So it's fall. So most flowers are gone but it's still green. But in a few weeks
I think most. Looks even more depressing. Yeah. And now I really like it with the green and now
you see it's really overgrown. Really post-apocalyptic. I think it's one of the best seasons now.
It is. It's still green and but it's also a bit depressing. The sad atmosphere. Yeah.
And we have to be a little bit careful because we heard some big machinery.
So the demolition crew might or not be or not might not be on site. It's the end of the day
so I think they're gone. But it's a weekday. Like 10 minutes ago we heard something. Yeah.
Maybe the last activity of the day. Yeah. Let's hope so. So here you could see the power station.
We made a regular episode here too. I put a link in the description. Here's where the...
Actually when you look at the building like this column is the elevator shaft.
Oh yeah. Yeah. Makes sense. And this building they will keep. They will protect it. Which is
nice I think. It's amazing yeah. That's a brick stone building. Yeah. But I still wonder what
will they make out of this. With so many floors. Maybe industrial lofts or something. Oh yeah.
So we just go into the power plant. Stay on ground level and go out on the other side of the
building. Yeah we can do that. It's dark but it's nice to have a bit of the feeling for the inside.
So we still have maybe one and a half hour left. I can't walk really fast because otherwise the
camera is wobbly. But it still is now. Yeah I see it dancing all around. But you can't get it better
than this. Yeah you cannot. No. Yeah I should buy some roller skates but it won't work in this area.
There's still an active factory. I guess in a few years we'll be exploring that too. Indeed.
Because everything is closing here. It's really the end of an era. It is. Can you go through?
I hope so yeah. Sorry for that. Bumpy. Yeah I didn't bring my big flashlight so it's gonna be dark.
No but it's only one minute. So in this building the energy was generated for the
blast furnace. It's more cheap than buying I guess. And through the years this has been
completely vandalized, burned and looted. For me this is a bit symbolic for the downfall of the
whole. Because you see the pictures where it's all wrapped up in plastic and now you walk on iron.
I think because of this site a lot of other industrial places are guarded a lot more.
It's a bad example. Yeah. I think it's named indeed as a bad example everywhere.
Because there are some other ones and they are heavily heavily secured.
We still have one other list where we want to go. Already filled ones. Yeah it's a long-term project.
Can you go through? Yeah I can go over it I guess. Careful for your hair.
The temperature is just okay. Yeah it's fine. It's like 11 degrees or something.
So last time I wanted to do a test it was raining.
And now it seems we're lucky. But also this is the perfect weather.
It is. Because when you have the sun you've got a lot of flares in the footage.
So like two years ago they cleared this whole pathway.
Now it's overgrown again. Now it's getting back already. Did they do it for the tests? I don't
know why. Okay. Because it was 2019 and I thought okay they will start demolishing now but
nothing happened. I've seen them too right. Yeah yeah. I saw them somewhere over there.
Yeah just pushing all the green away. Yeah. Can you check if the camera if there's a
water on it? Because I swept through it.
All right.
So I think it's nice to walk over there. Yeah that would be cool. Sorry? Really nice. It's a
shame huh. When we did another test these were just totally purple. Yeah. Gave a nice contrast.
Yeah. To see these flowers. Yeah. I like this silence. Yeah really nice.
And there's the blast furnace. Yeah. There all the material was poured in from the top
and then at the bottom you would get the molten iron that was going liquid to the steel factories.
And we are gonna end this walk through on the top of the blast furnace.
I think this is one of my favorite parts. Yeah me too. Me too. It's like chaotic.
Lots of lines. And it's not too high. You really walk through you know literally.
You feel little here. Yeah.
This changed. Yeah it did.
It's funny when you come. Ilko comes here three times a week
and you start to notice all the little details. Feel out after work.
This place is just 45 minutes from my house. For me it's one and a half hours. It's a really
nice view here. I like it. That's so green. It's more like you changed into a forest more you know.
Especially this part. You feel like you're the only one in your own little city here.
Your own playground. Yeah. Your theme park. Careful.
You can walk here for weeks. There are so many roads. And you still discover new stuff all the
time. So here we slowly walk into the blast furnace.
The stairs are pretty rotten.
Yeah they throw down some big things I guess.
Missing a couple of steps here. Careful. You're gonna stand here for a few seconds.
So the viewer can look around. It's really nice because the buildings are getting
one with nature. You can see all the moss and grass. Yeah. So they grow in the walkways.
Amazing. It gets even better all the time. I think when they clear all the trees and all
the vegetation it looks already not so charming anymore as it does now.
It really has the I am legend feeling. Yeah. So on the right is the power station. You can now
clearly see the roof. The fire part. Has a nice view as well. Yeah. Lots of graffiti on it now.
Yeah. So during my first visit this building was still active. I could see the smoke come out.
I was inside and they bombed it to workers so I had to run away. Like eight years ago? Nine?
Yeah I think I went in in 2013 or 2014. Oh yeah. The last the final years. Yeah before the shutdown.
Yeah true because most of the calendars end up at 14. 13, 14. And now we end up in the heart of the
factory. Yep. But we will not go up for now. Not yet.
It's a bit dark here but there should be enough light. Yep.
It's nice huh. It's like when you view this it's like exploring with a tour guide.
You don't even need to step into your car. Yeah. Down here there's the drill which opened the hole
and then the molten iron would flow out. Flow out. It's one of the two actually. I think it's
quite new. It was a big investment just before shutdown. I guess it was around 2010 huh.
Even later I guess really. I think it's 12, 11 or 12. Could be yeah. So this plant I think it was
shut down in 2008. Got reactivated again in 2010. And then finally shut down. The whole site shut
down in 2014 I believe. And then it was under like preservation for a while up until recently.
With the aim that it was possible to start up again but as you can see that's not realistic.
I think it was so much vandalized and so much copper and stuff was stolen.
I think it's better to build a new one because I don't know where cables have been stolen.
As you can see around. As you can see there's a lot of mess here.
And quite dangerous at some spots. Yeah right. So this is the heart of it all. You can climb inside and
then you can see the inside from the blast. And there used to be some structures around it but
I don't know where they ended up. Stolen probably. Yeah but what do you do with this? How do you get
it away? It's really heavy. Yeah. There's also a thing that was in the news. Inside this thing
there are copper plates. I think they cost around 2 million euro. And I think it's an inside job.
True. So suddenly they did an inspection and all the copper was gone. Yeah I guess.
Because you need like big machinery, big trucks to get it all out. Just gonna check the battery.
Camera busy. That should be fine. Oh the battery is still pretty full. That's good. Okay cool.
Continue? Yep. To ground level. Wait maybe I'm just gonna show this
little part here. Yeah it's nice. I like it. Yeah me too. See you later.
Oh it's hard to see I guess from my back but here you can see some chains.
And I think they brought the coal up. Yeah. And put it in on top. Yeah and the iron ore.
The iron ore. Yeah. Here's a nice industrial spider. I like it. And in the street one of my
favorite types of places to explore because it's like a really big playground when you have a
castle. Yeah. It's just small everyone makes the same pictures and you can't walk around a lot
I think I've even after coming here for 50 times. Yeah. We find some new spots. Yeah. Each time.
There you can see the car. Oh yeah. Yeah it's perhaps difficult to see for the viewers but
yeah you can shine your light on it. I point to it and then with the cables it gets pulled up all
the way to the top. It's a long trip. Yep. Never really noticed this car. Yeah it's really nice.
I never saw it in real life going up. No. So we got now going to the ground floor.
It's the most tricky part but yeah I think at this time it's we I think we never saw any security
after. No indeed. Five or six o'clock. True. So when the security gets inside they catch only the
let's say the good people. People that just take pictures. Yeah. In the best case they get some
taggers. But copper thieves they start at night. Yeah. So they hide during the day when the security
is here. And we saw it. We slept here sometimes. It's a big mess here at night. People make fire
you can see here. Burned copper. Yeah. They have some burning spots. It is. Oh there's a jacket here.
Bumper jack. At this time I believe the copper thieves are gone.
I think it might be became become too tricky. I think so too. I think the party is over. And it's
hard work for a little bit of copper I guess. Yeah. I think the most has been. Yeah we spoke
with them a couple of times. Yeah. Gave them some beers. Yeah. It'll be actually nice to make uh
yeah it's too late now but it would be nice if we could show the world. Yeah. Of this place after
dark. Yeah. Ah why not so. Yeah. Could do it in the next couple of weeks. Where are the copper thieves?
Aren't they? They are there. Yeah. Should we just check and if you can see some closes or something
we can show the viewer. I can still smell. They are still working. Yeah. I can smell burned
things. So you can see piles. Ah they are still working. Oh yeah. Yeah.
Now can we give it a flashlight? Yeah. It's gonna be dark but I will try.
Normally there used to be copper cables here which still need to be burned.
And here you can see closing on the right side.
So they live there for I guess a few weeks. Go back for a few days and then come back again.
Yeah hard life. Still gone. They're still doing it. Maybe left the closes here because normally
there used to be cables here. No but you can smell that they're still busy. Yeah that's true.
Because it's wet. This is quite recent stuff you know. Thanks for the flashlight. Why not you know just
go ahead I would say. Yeah. One of the main roads for security drives. Yeah. So if you want to go
here you just have to avoid this part a little. Yeah. Best thing is to go stay a bit higher. Yeah.
Normally we walk into those catwalks here and then the chance you get seen or arrested is about
zero percent I guess. You can see some of the demolition work or the preparing work.
They're emptying the buildings. Yeah. But from a few weeks ago I think not much happened. It's not
really impressive. No. They're still empty I see. Yeah. And those were already full the small
containers. So sorry guys uh part of the pole came down so we had to readjust this. Normally I tape
it but this was kind of a last minute trip. I just came back from Cyprus yesterday. Lost an SD
card I think with the best footage and then I was a little bit uh overwhelmed. I hope I find them
tonight. Here you can see some train tracks. Yeah. I guess for the coal and iron aura it seems like
everyone is gone which is a good sign. I'm not so impressed by the things I've seen now regarding
demolishing and it's not much. Yeah. Nope. Luckily for us. I think we will end up in a dead end so
we have to go a bit like there yeah. Scusi. Yeah.
Well I think uh the two of us total amount of visits I think it's hard to beat. Yeah.
By explorers then. Perhaps the viewers can also see like this yellow structure.
Oh yeah. That's that's supposed to be like the previous blast furnace from the 1890s or something.
This one was demolished and they kept a bit of the structure to use it for piping and stuff
and then in the 60s the other one was rebuilt. So you have to it's not just what the site was
not built at once but everything little by little they change and modernize stuff. Yeah.
Because this thing when was this built? 2004? It was 1999. Oh 1999. But still. Still pretty yeah.
10 years before closure. Crazy. And this was to cool down the coal or the iron aura? It was cooling
the agglomeration. It's like one of the substances of the yeah it's one of the substances of the
that goes into the blast furnace. But that should be the. So the whole factory is quite new I think.
And also here you can see how toxic this place is. So they cut some holes in this pipe I guess for
explosion risk or something. But when this the smell is terrible and you can see nothing grows
on it. Yeah just a little bit of plants here but I think they will die too soon. I think really for
surface cleaning and cleaning the soil. This is craziness. This has been dripping here for
10 years. You have 100 plus years of ironworks you know. And then it would be nice to take a
substance of this and see what it is. Even standing here. Yeah it will be really toxic I guess.
This will shorten our life expectation by one year. Who knows. Do you want to go
I would say on top of the carousel? Oh yeah yeah.
Little nice car. So many nice places but you can't know everything I guess.
Yeah I hope the camera's not too wobbly. It's really hard I can feel it shaking.
This is the Liege sound in the background. Yeah so here there were layers and piles of this
agglomerate. Oh it's gone. And they cleaned it like a couple of months ago. Yeah yeah you're
right man. Maybe they needed it somewhere else. Yeah go up here and go down there. Yeah it's nice
Slowly climb the stairs. Yeah actually you should need a little flying drone behind you.
That would be better. Yeah and here you can really see like the wheels of the whole
mechanism. Must be a lot of force and weight to move. Yeah
Yeah so by the way please give us some feedback about this episode. If you like it what could
be improved. The whole 360 approach. I really like it. Many people don't seem to like it but
I don't know it's like exploring yourself a little. Yeah I think you should not do it only
but it's like of course to mix a bit. But I ran it the wrong the last time because you can also
when you follow me automatically you can also watch it on a normal screen. Ah yeah. I think that
was a big issue also. So here we have a nice view too. Of the carousel. And actually the whole part
in front of us. Should we go to the top and then down? Yeah we didn't see yet. No. And even in the
regular episode I think we only covered 30 or 40 percent. Less. Less yeah. So many places.
So the first test was funny. Yeah. The camera bumped actually into every obstacle.
It's a miracle that the GoPro is still alive. Breaky? Yeah. So we had our first break
and we checked the footage as well and it seems like the stairs are a bit wobbly. So I put my
backpack on my back instead of my belly and see if it gets better. Sorry for that. It's really a
pain in the ass to use this thing with urban exploring. Yeah but for easy stuff like this
it's quite suitable I think. Yeah. Oh well we're still experimenting. Trying to innovate and trying
to find new ways to maximize the pleasure of the viewer. Yeah you cannot use it for hardcore
infiltration sessions. Yeah that would be fun. Yeah. Yeah it's impossible to climb a fence with
this. You want to go around here or not? Or just go down and into the... Yeah there's nothing to
see here. Just some trees. Oops water. Oh yeah that's an issue. Water drips yeah. This lens is
really problematic. When I hit it once the lens is broken and I can't use it anymore.
You have protectors but it doesn't work.
Yep. Oh yeah you have it. No no it's okay. It's okay? No no not on the lens. No no. Only in the pole.
Okay. Yeah. Careful here. Yeah it's tricky. Tricky stuff. Yeah.
We're doing our best. It's a new way of working. Yeah. I hope more people will like it too.
Next obstacles. Would be a pity if you will only receive thumbs down you know.
Doing your best. It was not so popular. I think the first video didn't even reach
10k. A big investment. Yeah. So this is quite a nice conveyor belt. It goes into the factory.
That's a really nice one. Yeah. I really like this one. So we're now going into the agglomeration.
The coal preparing plant. Yeah. The sintering plant. That's how it's called in English.
There's a nice view point as well over there. And then we have one interior part which we will walk.
This is the biggest interior i think of the whole site. Yeah.
Halfway i will stop somewhere for like 20 seconds to enjoy the view.
I really like the stairs which are covered with moss.
Yeah true. Amazing. It's the only one actually in the whole factory. It's like a botanical garden.
Yeah i'm going to stop here for like 20 seconds.
You know what's the nicest today? That is there's totally no wind at all. It's really silent.
True. I didn't even notice before you say it. Yeah there's nothing. It's really peaceful.
Lots of dinofrags. Yeah you see that something is happening here.
Yeah there's quite some activity now. Too bad. Last year it was only like the security dudes.
Once or twice a day. Nothing more than that.
And soon it will be a weekend only because during the day people will work here. Yeah.
And there you can really see the old part of the power plant.
That's one of the oldest part of the whole factory i think.
That one. Yeah with the curved roof. You had an HF6 as well since you're building. Yeah. It led to the
glass furnace. Also gone. I'm gonna close this one for my lens. Yeah the question is
if this is worthwhile for the viewers but i think
it's nice to go through. It's only a couple of minutes. Yeah we can try.
But if not i will cut it out. Yeah.
So i didn't bring my flashlight.
So deep. Yeah.
It's gonna be a lot darker than on a sunny day. Yeah.
Oh well we can at least do the viewpoint. Yeah.
I hope the viewer is not afraid of the dark.
So i guess this episode will be online already. The agglomeration, the sintering plant.
We visited a few other ones in France which were really similar to this one. Yeah true. Yeah.
A really nice episode.
One of my favorite viewing points here. Yeah for me as well. You can really see it all. Yeah.
It's one of the... But the roof is tricky here. Careful here. Yeah you can see holes over there.
It's not safe. Over there. I will walk a little bit to the front. Yeah.
I feel the metal is becoming softer and softer. So careful in going to the front.
I just have to make sure that the lens is not moving too much. And that i don't fall down.
Oh. Oh it's getting really worse at this point man. So we made it safe here.
There you can see some more containers. They're working there at the moment.
The last furnace power station. Really nice.
And we also slept a few times here. And we used that building over there.
All right. Let's get back to Elko.
The roof really gets worse here. Yeah it goes fast. I think in a few months. I think it won't
survive this year. And i think it's quite deep as well below. I don't want to know. No.
It's like 5 to 10 meters or something. It's trying to stabilize the camera right now in my hand.
Here look. Oh yeah.
Yeah it's way more than 5 meters. Just to the ground floor. Yeah. Back inside.
We should go up one floor. And then go through the main hall. Here it's too dark. Yeah. Yeah.
That's a pity.
It's so a lot darker than normal. Yeah. I'm just going to check.
Now it's still in one hour pitch black. Yeah too bad. I miss those long summer days. Yeah me too.
It's too short of a period. Yeah. You know it's only a couple of months and then it's all over.
They're stuck for eight months.
In summer period yeah we should move to the north where it gets where it's light 24 hours a day.
See only one panel is missing and see how much light goes in. Yeah indeed. All right guys so
this is a really dark part. We're going to stop the video. Yeah. Just for a few minutes and then
we get back to you when it's light again. Back on ground level i think. Yep. All right guys we're
down. You only missed some boring staircases in pitch black. We're now continuing.
So we're close to the main entrance. Yeah it's over there. You soon see it on the left side of us.
So if somebody is coming it's always from that side over there.
Here on some. It's the station to fill these kettles. Yeah amazing. Weird industrial smell.
You can see the bluish stuff. Yeah the same as you saw before. It's the same stuff. Yeah
probably the same pipe as well. Yeah really strong chemical. Careful.
It's really an unhealthy smell here. It is but mentally really healthy.
Yes. Damn those plants got big during the months. Yeah. I wonder how this will look like in 10 years
from now. Of course it's gone but. Completely trees. Yeah yeah indeed. It's also nice that they
say in life after people. Yeah. The only thing visible after a thousand or ten years. The oldest building.
Will be the pyramids of Egypt. Yeah. And the rest will be completely gone. Gone yeah. It's amazing.
One of the oldest structures. Yeah things are so cool. Yeah. Numbers on it. Cool huh. Yeah.
The blue zone. Yeah. Falling objects. So where we're walking right now.
There are some workshops and also some locker rooms. Yeah. Atelier Mechanique. Yeah just a mechanical
workshop. Yeah. The sky is getting blue. Yeah it's perfect weather actually. I think we have a nice sunset
soon. With the barbecue. What's the time actually? A good one. Let me see. Time is six o'clock. It's okay.
Still have one hour. Yeah. Amazing view over here in the front. This is nice. Yeah yeah. Really nice.
And that building over there with the bricks. It's one of the oldest as well.
It's called Chateau d'eau. Oh the water house. Yeah. And actually on top of that building you
can see some piping going down. It's a water reservoir. And I believe that that water was used
to cool the older blast furnace. Okay. Like later on they cooled it with air and then yeah.
So we had a little stop. I forgot to put the pole back up. It's hard work.
Actually it's not. It's just laziness. Always something. But not so much is happening you know.
You see all the containers standing. But nope. I really like all the lines and pipes. Yeah me too.
So we're back at where the copper thieves are located. We were there like a couple of minutes
ago. Did you walk all the path here? No. Yeah we came out there. Ah okay yeah. What we can do.
We can go up there. And then walk like this. Go next to the coal bunkers and then go to the top.
Oh yeah we could do it. Yeah. I think it should work out here. Careful for your camera though.
Oei. This is really low. Yeah careful man. Don't walk like this. Rather bump your head.
Well it's expensive when you use just one location and you spend like 600 euro.
You should go up and then left. Yeah and it's overgrown here this part.
And then we're on the side of the river. Yeah careful for the plants. Yeah.
Oh we're at the start of the... Indeed it's the Chateau d'Eau i just mentioned.
Just take a quick look here. Yeah i really like it here. It's old stuff with big industrial lamps
on the ceiling. Just gonna check the battery life. GoPro max. Okay i think we have to hurry.
Yeah we have like one hour left. No i mean with the battery. Ah okay cool all right. Normally i
got it powered but. How many minutes do you have left? I don't know. Okay. I just see it's almost
almost empty. Really? But still i think we managed. Yeah but still we need to have the
top. It's also 10 minutes plus. Yeah. Do you want to still see this platform or?
Maybe just go to the blast furnace. Yeah. Immediately. Shall we take this pathway there?
Yeah there are a lot of plates are missing. Indeed indeed. So here are all the coal bunkers.
All the coal was delivered here. Yeah. From the river. Hard to see now. Yeah we're a bit too much.
We can't see it from the top. Yeah it's not really interesting. And i think they will keep those as
well. Okay but why? Yeah i think this is also the structure of the whole complex. It's supporting.
It's a foundation you know. Let's break some branches here. Hola. Lower lower lower lower.
Sorry guys. Careful careful careful. You should check perhaps for water drops on your lens later on.
Should we check now? Yeah it looks funny again. I guess so. I think it's fine but it's quite low as well.
Careful. I didn't notice. Also a great viewpoint from here. Really nice approach to enter the blast furnace.
It's another small botanical garden.
So this is a tricky part here. Careful. Hola. You can lose your life over here if you like.
Yeah these plates are totally rusty. Yeah i've seen a couple of youtube videos where one of the
people walks over and then it collapses. Really? Yeah. Hola. I would prefer to walk over the pipes here.
Okay it's gonna be a bit wobbly i guess. I have to go over these pipes. Careful for the camera.
So this is the part we were like ages ago. You can see the cars going up.
Yeah careful man. I hope i didn't hit the camera. At least not the lens.
60-70 meters up. Yep now we're going up. One of the highest points. I really like this part.
Me too. Now it's just walking on stairs. Just decent work. Oh was that the lens?
Yeah it was. The lens? Yeah. Oh ****. Yeah it was. Now it's all black. We lowered the
pole of the gopro a little because we just hit it pretty bad and there is no protection around it.
So if it gets hit we lose 600 euro. But the last point we're going up there now. The highest point.
And now you really get the view from here on you know. So it's going to be a really nice view.
Should i walk in front to see? You can see that the sun is already quite low.
It is yeah. Your shoelace are loose by the way. Yeah i just stepped on it. I think we need to go
straight from here. Yeah it's better now. That's now a bit lower you know the gopro. So it's
more safe. It's a real hassle this 360. I hope the effort will be rewarded one day. I think we can go
here. Yeah or from there it's also fine. But here you have a bit more light i think.
Yeah and it looks like there is or was a fire. Yeah. Second time already. We had one before.
Pretty big fire. Black smoke. Yeah it was huge. Even with the explosion. Yeah now it's only smoke.
Yeah just gonna stand here for a few seconds. Yeah you can see a little bit of Liège.
The soccer club is over there. And the city center. To the right. To the right.
Ah yeah you can see a little bit of the basilica. Yeah all right let's continue. I would take this
one. Oh yeah oh this is a dead end. So yeah i was just not paying attention. The floor sucks here.
I'm gonna hold my pole. A little bit of stabilization. I hold my pole for this to
stabilize it. Should go into the blast perhaps here and find a way back. A way to the top on
the other side. Oh this is the oh we already have the famous level. Yeah here we celebrated
100 000 subscribers. Back in the days. It's not too long ago i guess. This is new. Yeah it is.
Pretty new. The elevator in the video you can see i used it one day when it was still working.
Pretty amazing. Oh we have to go up. Yeah just go to the top right. There it is right. Yeah oh here
maybe a quick nice view. Amazing. We didn't see anyone today yeah. Normally you can find
quite some explorers and couples and dark tourists. Yeah taggers. Indeed mostly on the weekends.
Careful for the camera. I'm gonna hold the pole again. It looks a bit stupid on video perhaps but
better stabilize it. Yeah i think with the bag it tumbles uh wriggles less.
Look at this view man. It's getting better. Amazing. Yeah it gets better on top.
And we have a great view on our hotel where we slept with minus five degrees. Yeah it was a
cold one over there on the left side. Which we'll do again in the near future. Yeah another sleepless
night. It's nice it's like a no man's land. You can do whatever and nobody cares here.
If you make a barbecue in another place you'll get busted. True. This will never come back.
No such a big one no. Almost at the top you can see a spiral staircase.
Go through these are the final steps to get to the top. It's not the highest point of the blast
furnace but with the pole it's gonna be hard to climb. No it is actually. A nice view.
Careful. Yeah. Okay look back for me. Lower. Yeah. Yep yep. Last steps to the top.
Careful. Oh yeah. All righty. This is new too. I think you just take it off.
Objective view amazing from here. It is. We're gonna do a quick look at every point.
There in the back you can see a some kind of excavator. Yeah. Main entrance is here.
Oh these are the yeah the coal bunkers. What's the height? 75, 80 meters of rust.
Sorry guys. I have to bend down. Lower, lower, lower, lower. Yeah.
The other side. Amazing. On the right you can also see a place we visited
for the regular series. It's a coke plant over there. It's all interconnected.
I like it. That's the highway to Luxembourg. That one huh? Yeah. Yeah and it's funny there's also a
train. Yeah. Still running through these grounds. Underground. Active. And then it goes further that
way. Oh we just uh. It's always nice to end like a tour here you know. It's more the highlight and
then you have seen it all and then you go to the top and then you can really recall all the places
you've been. Yep. Actually we walked around quite a good amount. So we entered over there,
went into the power station, went out over that bridge, went in the lower part of the
blast furnace, had a bit of main road, went into the carousel, into the agglomeration. Which is over
there. Then walked out to the right, back out. Main road. Main road and then on the other side
we came up here. And then yeah you can imagine that there's more to see than this. Of course.
But it's a nice overview. If you want to tip the guide.
Oh well thanks for watching. Please leave a thumbs up. Let us know in the comments
what you did and what you didn't like about this video. So we can improve.
Yeah so we're going to improve. And our next target will be a 360 video of the
coke splendor. It will be nice to document that before it's gone.
