Amazing pics. Where is the place located and is it open to public like it seems? I'd deffinitely like to visit there.

I don't know MrMojo? I was looking for it too but since you can see people just wandering about I reckon you can just go there, but Russia is big so handy to know where it is :P

They should rent the underground bunkers for airsoft/paintball matches.

Heh, I'm quite sure it would be a long drive to the place. Might get bored in the middle way :lol:

More I look at the pics, more stunning they are. I'd also like to visit those underground plane factories in Germany, if any of them is still intact.

Whenever your in Holland, contact me and we will go to the underground bunkers in the Hoek Van Holland (dutch coast) those underground bunkers are miles and miles long :shock:

Are they army bunkers and open to public? Finnish army brigades also have underground bunkers, but noone seems to know how long they are. Only rumours are alive. :|

The bunkers were build in the 2nd WW by the Germans, because they were afraid for an allied invasion in Holland. Some (small) parts are open to the public, but I have been in the non public part (about 90% of all tunnels are not open to public) actually came across some rounds :shock:

Yeah, I read that German started to build underground factories and bunkers when they didn't manage to beat British air force. If I someday visit Holland, I'll keep that in mind. for sure

Ok, no problem mate!

We always go with a group for safety and take allsorts of stuff like a Spray Can to keep track of where we are, and make sure we get back, because some people actually got lost :shock:

The base is located in Balaklava, at the coast of the Black Sea, in Ukraine. With 5$ entry fee you can go there for 1 hour guided tours.
More info from here

There is another closed down submarine base called Gremikha Naval Base in Kola Peninsula in Murmansk, but it is closed also from entrance.

Thanks! :good: :D

I've been to the Cu Chi Tunnels in Ho Chi Minh City but you only get to crawl a a few 20 metres... I've been almost 7 metre under ground :shock:

Amazing pictures, taken out of a James Bond movie 8)

^ I had the chance to go to those vietnamite tunnels... but since they're extremely claustrophobic, we prefered to do another thing :? :?

Do you have claustrofobia Dani?

I sure would like to visit them too one day!

Another interesting site guys is in Dover. There's the famous Dover Castle on top of the white cliffs but there is a underground base underneath it, inside the mountain itself build in the 2nd WW, very interesting!! :D

10 years is too short wait for a Trabant. Eternal wait would be better :lol:

Very interesting.

Looks like it was restored to be a "museum", looks all cleaned up and the ukrainian navy flags all over...

When I go back I will pay a visit to the nuke silo and this.
