Note: This is a long story, but I couldn't leave anything out. Sorry :)

So this was a factory where they produced bike parts. It's been abandoned for serveral years and no one really wants to take the ownership and clean it. It's quite big and although most of the machines where gone, the decay just adds a nice atmosphere to it. The terrain consists of one main building and a few small buildings around it. I heard that there was a fire in one of the small buildings twice. One before I got there and one after, so it's not a very safe place to visit.

Getting access to the terrain was quite a challenge. One side was surrounded by fences and was right next to an extremely busy road. The other side was not as busy, but it was surrounded by fences AND a wall of stingy bushes and plants. So I chose the second option and it took me half an hour to get through all of that. On top of that, I also scraped a piece of my finger skin on the fences, because I didn't want to be seen. It was definitely the most painful and stressful moment I've ever had during an urbex trip.

Once I got to the terrain, I quickly realized that all the entrances to the main building were blocked.
Except one small window frame where I could just fit in (pic 8). And so I wormed my way in, when all of a sudden... the alarm goes off! It was very quiet, but still hearable. Panic was flowing through my body and I didn't know what to do.

After a while, the alarm stopped beeping and nothing happend. So I took the risk and walked further until the alarm goes off again. Apparently, it was a motion sensor. But I ignored it and even when I was done with exploring, there was no police.

The main hall with the motion sensor was huge, but quite empty and uninteresting (pic 2). The second hall next to it was empty as well, but very beautiful (pic 1). Natural light shone through the holes and the decay was stunning. The third hall was very dark and ominous (pic 5), where I found a lot of bike seats (pic 7). The roof of the fourth hall was collapsed and vegetation fell through it, creating a weird imagine of a tree (pic 4). There was also an attic above this hall, where I saw boxes filled with bike seats (pic 3). Unfortunately, there was no way to get up there. The last hall was empty as well, but it had a cool looking water tank (pic 6).

The small buildings weren't very interesting, so I didn't took pictures there. However, I saw a working phone and a new cup of coffee in one of the buildings. There was probably someone living there, so I quickly ran away.

If you made it this far reading my long ass report, I'd like to thank you and I hope you enjoyed it!
