Urbex = urban exploration. Walking into the places a city forgot — dead factories, empty halls, rusting machinery slowly being eaten by weeds. Kladno was the steel heart of Bohemia, and the bones are still standing
Our main target is the Vojtěšská huť (Koněv), one of the oldest ironworks in Central Bohemia. Blast furnaces, ore bunkers, a coke plant the size of a cathedral, and three lime towers that are a protected cultural monument. Best part: it's an official industrial trail, open to the public, with concrete info panels along the route. No fences to hop, no trouble. ?

⚠️ READ THIS
🔒 Abandoned places change fast — things get fenced off, demolished or bought overnight. Vojtěšská huť is part of the official industrial trail so it should be fine, but if something is closed on the day, we adapt
