    Hiking

    Lost place at its best, a fence in front, you can get in at the back!
    But caution is advised, everything is already very dilapidated!
    I didn't dare go upstairs!
    Please do not destroy anything, do not take anything with you, just take photos👍🧙

    Hiking

    In break 31, on a hike along the Ölbach near Verl, a ruin is particularly photogenic. The former 'prison villa' was built in 1914, first an agricultural estate, from 1936 part of the prisoner camp Oberems. Several attempts in the recent past to renovate the villa have failed. The building rots and becomes a 'lost place'
