Austria Uncovered: Episode 2 (subtitles available) Exploring Vienna's abandoned underground World War Two relics
Austria's capital harbors a dark and mysterious underworld. Downtown Vienna is known for its pomp and glamor, but underneath awaits another, more sinister side. In this video, we roam the underground with locals who have been rediscovering the abandoned parts for years. When night falls on Vienna, a subculture is awakening that's living in the shadows. Let's join them in exploring the belly of their hometown! #urbex #abandonedplaces #bwturbex

On our journey to the Balkans in the summer of 2021, we were accompanied by a group of filmmakers. They shot a documentary on that trip about how curiosity conquers fear, and how the gruesome past of the Yugoslav wars can be explored through abandoned sites. We have several appearances in that 60-minute-long film.

09:10 The street where I live was almost entirely demolished by German artillery in the 1st WW, and rebuilt later. The cellar still shows a decent sized hole (re-bricked, but still very visible) to the neighbours' cellar from either WW1 or WW2. If the building above collapsed or was set on fire, people could escape next door, or even further down the street.

My father and my grandmother and grandfather were residents of Vienna during WWII. I appreciate the chance to have a clearer picture of where they would have fled to during the bombing. During one bombing, their home took a direct hit. The only thing that my father found in the rubble was a scorched book of his. I visited Vienna with my father in the 70's and there were many times and places where he was very quiet. I can only imagine what memories he was experiencing after seeing this video.

I do love your new intro, highlights some of your photography, tells us what’s up. “Vienna underground part 2} Here we go! This is awesome. How amazing to have a local guide who knew his way around, and could explain a lot of what he’d learned about this vast underground space. Loved! the corner of the basement with the 1672 date carved in it. Amazing. Aside from cobwebs and I suppose dust, the passages seem in good condition. I mean, WWII was nearly 80 years ago. These stone and concrete bunkers are holding up well. Except for the damp parts. Really cool exploration, with your usual high standard of filming. Great work guys!

I always like that you guys are able to balance your curiosity and fear so that you don't get hurt. I lived my young years in the shadow of WWII, because of my father. There were mementos stored in the dresser drawers of our home and of course there was my father. He never spoke about the war. My mother would tell us his stories for him. It was very insightful to see how the rest of the world dealt with WWII. Last year, I learned from my brother that my father had spoken with one of his friends about what he did during the war. He was a trained bodyguard and medic for a very important person. His secrets have died with him. I can't access my father's military records, because they were destroyed by fire at a military archive.

Thank you for this excellent video! The very air in there seems filled with heaviness of the past! To think of how many such places exist beneath our feet, and the many generations who had to huddle in these spooky crammed passages, yet they were their means of safety and escape from horrors often beyond our imagination! My family lived through both World Wars in Europe, and even my generation was affected emotionally by what they went through! We should be so grateful that we are not living in the same tragic circumstances, rather than fighting nation against nation, always being suspicious of one another! Such a beautiful world and so much terrible drama. Thank God for every beautiful, safe day we are given and able to enjoy sunshine, flowers and so many other great things. May love and peace unite all people and species & let us get along in harmony, please! Many warm greetings to everyone!
