As we started descending from the Buzludzha memorial, darkness and fog completely overtook the mountain. There are two options for spending a night near the monument – some sort of small hotel/mountain lodge buildings. 
In October 2017 we did a road trip across all of Bulgaria. Our main goal was to visit the Buzludzha monument (a forgotten ideological monument dedicated to the Bulgarian Communist Party). Buzludzha is a historical peak in the Central Balkan Mountains, about 1400m high. 
The small town of Kaloyanovetz is situated near Stara Zagora, it didn’t take us long to find the place full of abandoned trains and carriages. 
As we came to Stara Zagora well after midnight, we didn’t see much of the city, only the main street. Waking up after a long night of wondering around military bases, we honestly didn’t know what to expect from this city. 
This „thing“ was literally the first building that caught our eye during our visit to Shumen. We noticed it driving through the city on our way to the Founders of the Bulgarian State Monument. It was a genuine surprise. Back in Zagreb we all spent a lot of time in front of maps, pictures, blogs 
We drove around Varna trying to find the right way to Shumen. It was a bit tricky to drive around town and searching for the right way. After a brief stop to lunch, we bought a map of Bulgaria. Now we got our bearings and hunger straight. 
“Croatia Infiltration” as a project started around 2009. Guessing by the name – we were primarily focused on exploring abandoned locations in Croatia. Some of us explored abroad but we never went as a group. Thankfully, in October 2016 that changed. 
Within the Days of Architecture in Zagreb we organized a photography exhibition of abandoned industrial heritage. These are some of the extra shots from the location “Paromlin”. 
We’re reviewing some of our gear that we use during our explorations. This is our first [GEAR] review – Kizer Vanguard Dorado + Vanguard Roach!
