Abandoned 'Waldkater' Hotel in Harz Mountains: A Haunting Reminder of Its Past Glory
An abandoned former hotel in the Harz mountains, known as 'Waldkater' among urban explorers, stands as a haunting reminder of its past glory. The building, once a tourist destination, has fallen into disrepair and is now a haven for wildlife and adventurers seeking a thrill.
The hotel, constructed between 1880 and 1900 by a religious institution, served as a retreat for young people and seniors before being sold to a private owner in the 1960s or 1970s. Its remote location, far from civilization, has left it untouched by time, save for the vandalism and litter left behind by explorers.
The once grand facade is now marked by time, with broken windows and parts of the building collapsed. Inside, the hotel offers a sad and mysterious view. One bedroom is strewn with feathers, evidence of animal activity, while another bears large dark stains on the mattress, possibly from a deceased animal. Despite the neglect, the bathroom remains relatively intact. However, explorers must beware, as ammunition has been discovered in one of the rooms, posing a potential hazard.
The identity of the private owner who sold the hotel and operated it as a tourist destination remains unknown. The 'Waldkater' continues to attract urban explorers, drawn to its eerie beauty and rich history. Yet, its dilapidated state and hidden dangers serve as a reminder of the risks associated with exploring abandoned buildings.
