There are not many opportunities to feel like an adventurer in modern times. However, exploring deserted places and finding unexpected treasures can give you that deep thrill. You bring nothing physical to show for your efforts, but the pictures you take and first-hand experiences make for even better souvenirs.
Urbex is a contraction of the English urban and exploring. So one goes out to discover abandoned places and weathered buildings. With the emphasis on urban, it is therefore about cities and buildings and not about nature views. The so-called urbexer goes out to find hidden places. It might remind you a little of exciting adventures you had when you were little. Discovery trips for adults!
When you have found a spot, you can choose to record it. So then we speak of urbex photography. And the two often go hand in hand. This way, the urbexer has a nice souvenir and it looks cool and original in a house, office building or perhaps museum.
