One of my hobbys is to explore abandoned bunkers, fortresses and other industrial or military sites as well as battlefields. 

I started to take my interest in such things a bit more seriously in 2005. Beforehand I explored some older fortifications or castle ruins, but didn't really document them or anything.I rectified that in 2005 and ever since once a year I go on a small "guy vacation", where I travel through europe either alone or with a friend or two and explore bunkers, batteries and such places. Here are some pictures and descriptions of my tours through the last few years.
