![]() Unfortunately, some of the older buildings (Austria-Hungary era) are derelict and have fallen into decay. At the end of the 20th century, a couple of privately-owned hotels and pensions appeared. ![]() During the Communist rule, facilities were built for mass tourism like 8-12 storied hotels.Īll kinds of people visited the town, but it was mostly popular with employees and retired people, who would visit Băile Herculane to spend their state-allotted vacation vouchers, while hoping to improve their health. Nowadays, the town is also regularly visited by ‘younger’ people. In current times, Băile Herculane is mostly known because of its (supposedly) natural healing hot springs with sulfur (my god, that stinks!), chlorine, sodium, magnesium and other minerals. Empress Elisabeth even had a house in the center of the town. Together with his wife Empress Elisabeth (Princess Sisi) they loved staying in the town. Interior House Princess SisiĮmperor Franz Joseph in 1852 called Băile Herculane “the most beautiful resort on the continent”. Multiple statues of Hercules have been discovered around town. Legend has it that a Roman hero and god named Hercules dropped by the village to bathe and rest. Several archaeological discoveries show that the area has been inhabited since the Old Stone Age. It is one of the oldest resorts in the world. The town has a population of around 5.000 people and has a very long history. It is surrounded by the most amazing mountains (Mehedinți mountains and the Cerna mountains). Idk if i was trying to convince or inform- writing this reminds me of english class.Photographing Abandoned Buildings in Băile Herculane, Romaniaīăile Herculane (or Herculane Baths) is a town situated in the valley near the Cerna river in Romania. I also plan to start shooting with a tripod which will be a big change from my normal style but I'll adapt. I hope in the next 9 months I can travel outside my little bubble that is the Six as well as revisit some of my favourites, as well as explore with more people. I’m interactive with the community, I’m a self described decent photographer, and I’ve met all the requirements. I’ve only been in it for 9 months (since may 2022) but in that time I’ve posted an average of 2-3 albums per week of my trips and always been thirsty for more. The other notable instance was the Blue Staircase mansion where I originally made a quick trip and submitted a good gallery, I then returned with DAexplores to take another set of photos with it. I went back in October to take what I believe to be one of the most comprehensive galleries to be posted on OAP (until ishootthings came around and posted a better (and longer) album to the location). Two notable instances were a certain powerplant that was first featured in my second album ever, and also my first ever urban exploration. Just like I plan to do with some of my recent unsuccessful trips. I either have historic photographs that haven’t been shared before on the site or I upload my own film photographs, simply because it is a medium that has become rather rare here on OAP (and my only goal in life is to stand out.) The main reason why I have more than one album at a location is because I revisit and return to places to increase the quality of photos that I have for that place. ![]() The reason why I often upload albums to places I’ve already been before is for several reasons. I also have **103** albums at this time from **78** different places, nearly double the required for level 3. That leaves me with **23** lvl 2+ locations which even then surpasses the minimum requirements. However, **6** of those locations are private due to various reasons, and another **2** are level 1. As you can see, I have **31** locations, which significantly surpasses the minimum requirements.
