Hidden in the rock of the Avon Gorge is this now-abandoned funicular railway. It once connected Clifton and the Grand Spa Hotel to the tramway and ferry station at the bottom of the Avon Gorge. To avoid spoiling the view of the cliffside an underground railway was proposed. On the 11th March 1893 the water-powered funicular opened its doors.

Not far from Dubrovnik, where hotel prices soar and vacancies are filled in the busy tourist season, the hotels in the bay of Kupari aren’t taking any bookings. Despite their prime location, stunning sea views and once-grand architecture, the complex of seven luxury hotels hasn’t seen anyone check in for over 30 years. They remain abandoned, their walls ridden with graffiti and bullet holes. The site has recently been used for the filming of a popular Mr Beast video, as well as a set location for the wartime drama “Lee” featuring Kate Winslet.

This bunker was built in the late 1940s or early 50s by Tito- the leader of Yugoslavia, in a strategic position with views over the flatlands towards Hungary. The bunker was built into a cliff face, and housed four Anti-aircraft guns, with beds for 24 soldiers. During WWII, Hungary had been allied with Nazi Germany, and had occupied parts of Yugoslavia. Though relations between Hungary and Yugoslavia improved after the war, Hungary was closely allied to Stalin’s USSR. In 1948, the relationship between Tito (Yugoslavia) and Stalin (USSR) reached boiling point, and Tito’s Yugoslavia felt it had to be prepared for a potential attack from Hungary. https://discover.re/abandoned-europe/abandoned-serbia-1950s-air-defence-bunker/

Belvedere Hotel was opened as a 5* resort in 1985 when Croatia was part of Yugoslavia. It had over 200 rooms, a helipad and a private boat dock. It’s easy to imagine why the hotel was so popular – it has unrivalled views across the water to the island of Lokrum and into the old town of Dubrovnik. The sea-level amphitheater was used on the set of Game of Thrones. The crest of House Baratheon was painted on the floor and was the stage for the battle between the Red Viper and the Mountain. Locals have painted over the crest with the emblem of Hajduk, a well loved Croatian football team. The ruins were also used for filming of the biopic about the WWII Vogue journalist Lee Miller. https://discover.re/abandoned-europe/abandoned-croatia-belvedere-hotel-dubrovnik/

We explored this abandoned and flooded Cold War Records Storage Bunker Skirting off the main road, through some woodland and a gap in some fencing, the exterior of this site was strewn with rubbish- discarded mattresses and tall piles of rubble. From the outside the arched concrete structure looked apocalyptic, with ivy wrapping the bars in the bricked-up windows. We ducked under the corrugated awning that clung haphazardly over the doorway, and hopped from rock to rock, tiptoeing above the murky water that flooded the floor. Once around the corner of the entrance, we were greeted by a long dank corridor, with rooms off to the right hand side.

https://discover.re/abandoned-europe/abandoned-kosovo-church-of-christ-the-saviour-pristina/ This unfinished Serbian Orthodox Church sits in the heart of the city of Pristina, within the campus of the University of Pristina. Construction began in 1992 and was due to be finished in 1999, but its completion was slowed by lack of funds and the deteriorating security situation in the country, before finally being interrupted by the Kosovo war. Today the ornate shell is patrolled by a squadron of friendly stray dogs, its doors bolted shut, with weeds and litter surrounding what could have been a symbol of Serbian rule in the heart of Kosovo. Instead the abandoned project stands as a symbol of the complex and unresolved dispute between the Serbs and Kosovars. A church on this site was first planned in 1973, however when Serbia took direct control of Kosovo (which had been an autonomous Yugoslavian state) the land was given to the Serbian Orthodox Church. A new plan was drawn up on the disputed land, with 1389 golden crosses- a reference to the Battle of Kosovo, which Serbians claim is an important event in their history, tradition, and national identity. Alongside other forms of enforced serbisation (the spread of Serbian culture, people and language), the foundations for this Serbian nationalist symbol were laid at the very same time as Albanian students and professors were being expelled from the university buildings, in 1992. The controversial external structure was completed in 1998. Read more at https://discover.re/abandoned-europe/abandoned-kosovo-church-of-christ-the-saviour-pristina/

Nestled on the banks of the Danube River, Hotel Yugoslavia stands as a symbol of Belgrade’s rich history and its journey through the turbulent 20th century.
