Forgotten military unit "Mezhgartsiems"

Recently I was able to get out for a walk in an abandoned Soviet military unit "Mezhgartsiems", near Riga, in Latvia.
Beautiful autumn day we collected backpacks, entered in the GPS coordinates, and went to look at the wonderful monument to a bygone era and a sample of Socialist Realism in concrete reliefs.

I have 71 photo with comments, and it looks like I want to show them all. On the finish, of course, will tell.





We arrived. "Mezhgartsiems" - part of the Soviet military defense, is located 25 km from Riga, in a quiet village Garciems. According to unconfirmed reports from the network, it was also part of the curriculum.
Login absolutely free. On the right begins the Great Wall reliefs. We walk along them.

Unfortunately, not all signs are seen as clearly as this.

Let's see what the right.
Then someone playing basketball 30 years ago.



The Sands of Time quietly erase history, which none of us and did not think to protect. Many of the bas-reliefs tumbled recently.

Thank air defense soldiers!



Kotams embodies the slogan - "THE LAW OF LIFE - constant combat readiness!»



Well, a wall with bas-reliefs over time turn left.



This is probably the barracks. Well, or something like that. Let's look into it.



...



Inside the beautiful mess. Judging by the number of gear scattered, packs of juice, cigarettes and havchika and bottles - the place is very popular now.



On the contrary - the bas-reliefs with soldiers - shot through in several places. Unpleasant pricked.



Well, go ahead, through the woods. Along the way we meet a huge anthill.



In general, the area is now looks as running the park. Asphalt and forest.



Along the road - again calls for the morale of fighters



That is almost not visible.



And the forest itself lives, gives unexpected gifts.



In fact, abandoned the place can not be named. He was chosen by the players in paintball and ayrsoft (airsoft). Here, for example, a ball from paintball.



But airsoft pellets.



...



Always on the lookout!



There in the territory and asylum



Here, too, for example. But inside we do not go. We climb the stairs and look at the hill.



Before us some ridges of the dinosaurs. On them you can walk if you do not have a neck, and you're not afraid of it.



Ridges dinosaurs appeared hefty tank hangar roofs. Tanks there, of course, no longer exists. Local residents, if they ask, can tell us about that before - 20 years ago, on the whole territory of the military unit, were located various antenna and radar equipment, which, alas, has sunk into oblivion, it was a lot of tanks and missile launchers of the "Katyusha ". Also, according to local residents in one of the bunkers was buried part of the submarine, which searchers dug local scrap metal, which is a pity. *



Certainly here cool echo, and you can yell at your pleasure, much as you like))



From the inside.



By the way, we came here for a reason, and with the mission - we need to find geokeshernuyu point (if someone does not know - geocaching - a fascinating kind of leisure - travel game using GPS, was to find caches hidden by other participants in the game.) And point taken !!! Hooray! Taking the toy - put her.



It is evening and we are starting to freeze. But we have a secret weapon - this is such a nice warmer gasoline (not Zippo lighter). It is filled with gasoline, set on fire - and she quietly smoldering, Narev and giving heat to us)). Things like security, but still a little scary to put it in his pocket.



Now go back and go to the premises of the hangars.

Paintings on the walls perfectly preserved.



...



But inside - in the rooms themselves, of course, wild srach.



The floors are probably taken away for firewood.



And here is a real time marker.



Someone zabatsal chandelier))) (This laytstik - chemical sources of light)
By the way - the black dots around - it's the mosquitoes. They then hundreds, but we do not touch.



...



...



And here's an artifact. The bandage on asylum orderly.



Suddenly we encounter the traces of a mass genocide. Dozens of butterfly wings are there for no apparent reason. Here that took mad entomologist? As long as we remain at a loss, but we have to solve this riddle.



There, at the end - a round room with a hatch on top.

By the way, the locals say that in Soviet times, when the territory of Latvia was flying a foreign passenger aircraft from the ground getting out radar and watched his flight, as long as it does not learn from each radar, and then, again, hiding under the ground . *



Well, we must go further. Quickly do a race through the woods, still have time to inspect the fleet.
Some parts of the forest pitted with craters, and what are they digging?



Muahahaha hello guys !!!



By the way, who can tell me - what is it? Not for the first time in the forests there are such islands dug in here. Why did this thing, then?



On the way we pass by training places



...



And here is the fleet



The roof is entirely sprung a leak.



An unexpected find - the constitution of the Republic of Latvia.



And here it is possible and the machine poremontirovat. Judging by the number of cans of motor oil at around - not me alone, this thought came to mind.
