 |  |  | UDINE WAR CEMETERY ITALY

One great thing about traveling Europe is checking out all the remnants of war. Although each year seems to have less and less you can actually explore we got lucky this day.
We were passing through Udine Italy at the time and of course we had to stop and check out one of their old war monuments/cemeteries fittingly called the "UDINE WAR CEMETERY".
I had seen it years before as a kid and I remembered that on the Austria side there was a cave which at the time we couldn't explore as I didn't bring a flashlight.
I made sure I was prepared this time but to my dismay (as with the rest of the old bunkers I tried to revisit) it was fenced in and no longer accessible. Of course the entrance was there and you could see in, but the bars made it impossible to actually get in. I'm sure all of you know how that feels.
Sadly We made our way over to the Italian cemetery side to check it out. While walking around one of the trenches that was left for show at the foot of the cemetery I noticed what looked like a bunker roof just peering above the ground not too far in the bushes.
Needless to say I was pretty excited but didn't think there was anyway it would lead up to something. This was a massive monument and shit of any magnitude wouldn't go unnoticed. To my amazement though I managed to find an entrance further in the bush.
At the time I was only armed with my camera and a lighter. To excited to go back and get the flashlight I made my way inside. At first the light from the doorway made it easy to see in the first part.
Of course the bunker was buried so there wasn't much light past the entrance. Using my lighter and camera flash I made my way deeper inside. I wont lie, it was a bit creepy. How could something so cool just be burried over..especially at such a huge monument.
After a bit of a tour I saw light coming in and of course there was an opening out into the Forrest. By now everything was covered in moss and it really added to mood the place.
The system just kept going and I couldnt have benn happier
Of course I had to invite my girlfriend down to enjoy this great find. She was excited to see the bunker but was terrified none the less..but after a bit of coxing she came in.
Needless to say any man has one duty above all else, and thats to scare shit out of someone any chance you can get. And even more so to get a photo of the mid scream if a camera is present. Not the most flattering photo of her but a trophy to me none the less...uh the photo and the girl ;)
Here are a few more shots of the bunker system that had not been buried at the time.
Eventually I reached an area that was filled in and that was pretty much the end of my exploration. No dead bodies or memorabilia to steal, but it was an awesome exploration none the less.
It was sad that such a big area of bunker was just left filled in to rot almost, but at the same time it was amazing and its just the kind of shit I look for. That being said I hope they one day take the time to clean it out so it can be further explored.

I does man, but this trip we spent less than a day in Italy so it was the best I could do at the time.
