Clinique Du Diable

The Clinique Du Diable is a big complex with six buildings. This is the view from the front to the main building with some of the employees’ houses. This time in black and white.

Shadow of a Chair

In the basement of the chief doctor’s villa, a strange chair is waiting in a dark corner. The screws and shape may remind more of torturing than healing patients…

I see you!

A little spider with a fascinating bluish body sitting on wood. It felt like it was looking at me…

Color in the Attic

Green and red walls, remains of a red carpet… it must have been a colorful room. Although it’s not on top of the building, there is the roof forming one wall – so almost the attic.

Top of the Leaf

It seemed like this little guy was just watching people walking along the meadow. Time for a picture!

Boiler Room

In the boiler room only two of the four boilers are still standing and slowly corroding with time. Many pipes and two boilers must have been stolen and sold for metal long time ago.

Bloody Butchery

It looks bloody. It looks like the butchery – and it’s just in the far corner of the kitchen. Only little people still know what went on in there – and why the walls are still bloody red…

On the Akelei

Determined

A friend from our photo group on his first UrbEx adventure in the Clinique Du Diable.

Just a year after my first visit to the Clinique I went back with some friends to see what changed – compared to my last visit there is even more damage caused by vandalism and thieves. The place got also rather crowded meanwhile: not only urban explorers but geocacher and groups with soft air- or paintball guns in army uniforms… And still: there were more rooms and corners to discover.

Window to the Mountain

Yesterday on the Șaua Caprei in the Romanian mountains.

After a cloud took away the visibility, a window opened to show some mountain peaks. At an altitude of 2315 meters the clouds seem to be very close and move fast.
