Abandoned Labyrinth
Location Library Hungary
Atmospherically dark and haunting, Hungary’s largest tunnel system lies hidden beneath Budapest, winding through 32 kilometres (19.8 miles) of labyrinthine passages. This abandoned underground maze features cellars, chambers, and endless corridors, including a century-old chapel with minimalist arches, once used by religious miners. Carved out of limestone, the labyrinth maintains a constant temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and is often damp, enhancing its eerie ambiance. Its architectural style is extremely simple, giving it a timeless effect. The only feature of its walls are the clusters of aged and rusty cables and pipes winding around the corridors. Although it has had countless functions throughout the years, this cellar complex has been abandoned for decades, apart from when national and international film productions rent it for shoots.
