After years of searching, an adventurer might have found what he was looking for.
But the secret of the place remains preserved for the time being.
Cologne – The attraction of so-called lost places is irresistible for many people.
For example, a restaurant that has been closed for a long time and is overgrown by nature.
Kim Phillip Brosien (35) from the Oberbergischer Kreis near Cologne
(more Cologne news at 24RHEIN)
focuses on special places.
He explains to
IPPEN.MEDIA
: “I am mainly looking for mines from the 15th to 19th centuries that have been forgotten throughout Europe, as well as often bunkers from the First and Second World Wars.”
He adds: “So you could say: everything that slumbers under the feet of hikers and houses.”
“I’ve known it exists for more than five years”: Adventurer finds mining tunnels in North Rhine-Westphalia
He shares his discoveries on his Facebook page “Forgotten Times and Places in NRW”.
He recently published a post that is characterized by both euphoria and mystery.
He writes: “I have known that he exists for more than five years.
Many searches never yielded a find.
I've been driving here every day for a year and although I discovered another hole a little further up, I think I've finally managed it now.
Inspect it soon.” Two photos accompany the article, one of which is marked with a white circle.
Hobby adventurers can expect “a mine from the 18th century” behind Loch in North Rhine-Westphalia.
When asked by a user “That there is someone?” He answers briefly and succinctly: “A mining tunnel.” He becomes more specific to our editorial team.
He suspects that there is “a mine from the 18th century; iron ore was mined here.”
There is already a mine nearby that is only 1.30 meters high on average.
According to his information, children worked there.
“I suspect the same thing about the tunnel you are looking for.” He emphasizes that he has been looking for this tunnel for five years.
At that time he read a book “about mining in Oberberg and the surrounding area.
Lots of useful information that offers clues and arouses curiosity.”
Brosien has been dedicating himself to abandoned places and “mines in the local area for a few years now, because I really value local history, history and relics.”
He emphasizes that he often carries out this activity with colleagues to ensure safety and planning.
“For example, there are mines that you can only swim through.
Some can only be reached by digging or are simply a hole in the forest floor.” His latest discovery probably falls into the latter category.

Adventurer is still keeping quiet about the exact location where it was found
Many are excited to see what the newly discovered place looks like.
This is reflected in the over 100 likes for his post on Facebook
(as of March 19, 2024)
.
One user comments: “Well then, get your measuring device in your hand and good luck.” However, due to a back problem, Brosien has to wait before he can examine the place in more detail.
But no one will dispute his discovery.
Because it does not reveal where exactly the potential tunnel is located in the Oberberg district.
Anyone who contacts Brosien on Facebook will first receive an automatic response: “However, if you have asked for coordinates or addresses, your message will be filtered immediately.
We don’t give anything away.”
Be careful, just don't imitate it without thinking!
Lost places pose many dangers
Under no circumstances should you rush into the Lost Places adventure without thinking.
On the one hand, there are safety aspects, as abandoned places may contain dangerous objects or be at risk of collapse.
Brosien also refers to “dangerous gases that often lie dormant in old mining operations.
No exploration without a measuring device!” On the other hand, you should be aware that you may be breaking the law, and not just because you might trespass on private property.
A user on
Gutefrage.net
sums it up well: “Even the most run-down ruins usually still have an owner.” Here you will find some of the most impressive lost places that exist in Europe.
