Doel Village, Belgium July '13

mookster · Jul 15, 2013

Part of my Greatest Hits Europe Urbex Tour Trip Tour 2013, a mad weekender in Belgium with a group of 4 who'd never been across the channel before.

Doel is such a great place it warranted another visit for me, I missed a fair amount last year and this time went right to the furthest reaches of the village almost knocking on the door of the nuclear power station. Like last time I wandered off by myself soaking it in, but unlike last time as we turned up early morning there was pretty much nobody there, apart from a guy I saw walking his dog and some guys driving a van from the power station I saw nobody.

A few more of the houses were opened up but I left my tripod in the car and from the looks of them they were all pretty ruined.

Nice one, loks like you all had fun. I actually laughed out loud in the office after reading the paragraph then scrolling to the first photo!

Never known what to make of this place, great graff, but was there anything of interest in any of the buildings? Or is it all about the exteriors / atmosphere?
Great photos, cheers for sharing!

There's not much in any of the buildings of any significance really, a few niknaks and fixtures left. The most interesting building I've been in was the community hall/theatre which was open last year but thoroughly sealed now. I really really want to see inside the school/convent type building but that too has also been totally sealed.
