<![CDATA[Forbidden Places]]> Commentics <![CDATA[Forbidden Places]]> 16 16 Agnieszka I visited the mine last weekend. It now totally covers the place where Otzenrath used to be. My GPS still shows its streets and lanes, no village name, though (time to update the maps, I reckon ) If you are still looking for a ghost town, it is worth to visit Pesch. That's the next village along the mine, and residents have already moved away. Looks pretty creepy, and not yet vandalised. It is accessible from the motorway 61, as the road between Otzenrath and Pesch is no more. Take the exit MG Wanlo, and then head to Immerath, Pesch is the next village (the name sign already gone)

The trip took me about 1,5 hours just to discover that the town now is completely gone. Only one empty house remains. The village Pesch is next, already half of the houses are empty, and just a few people live there. I’m thinking of going back in a few months when I think all of the villagers are gone. Too bad there was nothing left, got a good view of the enormous mine and big machinery.

In Otzenrath are two or three Hoses where People still live. And around them demolition and leaved houses. And i Drove through Otzenrath, then i turned left on my way to spenrath.. but suddenly the street was closed.. And I thought :" what the hell is this in front of me!!!" and then I have seen what it was.... One of the large mining machines destroyed the street. only 100m away from me. The sound that came from this machine was frightening me. It looks like a Dinosaur made of steel. So i Turned away from this frightening place. ANd I drove trought otzenrath again.. and then there was a little chapel. I think it was the chapel of the former cemetery of Otzenrath. But the cemetery is gone. Nothing there. Not even a stone or a sign .

Greetings dennis. nice page,

Ca. 2cm under "y" of highway. This picture is a few jears old. The hole is now completly at the border of the former motorway.
