Hidden treasures: Discover Munich's fascinating ghost train stations!

Laim, Deutschland - In Munich, the so -called “Lost Places” attract many adventurers and curious people. These hidden treasures are like time capsules that reset us in times. A special highlight under these historic places is the ghost train station on the Olympic Park, which was once used lively during the 1972 Olympics.

Today is the ghost station, which is located in the north on Riesstrasse, only a shadow of himself. It was originally built to transport visitors from the train station directly to the Olympic Park. The first mission took place on May 26, 1972 during a international football game between Germany and the Soviet Union. Until the decommissioning in 1988, the train station was part of the S-Bahn network, with connections to lines S5, S11 and S25. But a tragic accident ended the company and the tracks became unusable. Since then, the train station, which is now a listed building, has been left to nature that the area has recaptured.

The fascination of this place is reinforced by its inviting, albeit forbidden graffiti and its mysterious atmosphere. Despite the ban on entering, the ghost train station draws numerous photographer: inside and urban explorer: inside who want to explore the abandoned building fabric with its cameras. But caution is advised - the dilapidated surroundings are dangerous, such as collapsing blankets and fragile floors, and the unauthorized entry can result in legal consequences. The city of Munich acquired the 6.7 hectare area in 2011 from Deutsche Bahn to improve the network of cycle paths, but the decay continues.
