Urban exploration or often abbreviated as EU is an adventure activity carried out by entering the building or area left or abandoned.
EU activities are often carried out by photography lovers who want to capture the beauty and historical value of the building or area.
EU activities have a fairly high risk because buildings or areas explored are often not well maintained and can be dangerous to explore.
There are several types of EU activities, such as urban spelunking (cave cruising or underground tunnels), urban climbing (climbing buildings or towers), and urban exploring (exploring buildings or abandoned areas).
There are many EU communities around the world that share experiences, tips and tricks, as well as interesting places to explore.
Some places that are often explored by urban explorer are old houses, factory or warehouse buildings, abandoned train stations, and underground bunkers.
EU activities can also be a means to study the history and culture of an area, especially if the building or area explored has high historical value.
Not all legal EU activities are carried out, especially if the building or area has personal ownership rights or is kept tight by the authorities.
Urban Explorer often uses special equipment such as maps, lighting devices, and safety equipment to minimize the risk of accidents.
Urban Exploration is a challenging and exciting activity, but keep in mind to always comply with rules and ethics, and not damage or take goods from the building or explored area.
