Exploring an old Soviet submarine demagnetizing base in the Lahemaa national park, Estonia
Imagine stumbling upon an abandoned Soviet submarine base while cycling through Estonia's beautiful Lahemaa National Park. That's exactly what happened to me, and I couldn't believe the well-preserved history that lay before me.
Built during World War II, the Hara Submarine Base played a crucial role in the Cold War, and today you can explore its underground facilities, learn about its fascinating past, and even stay in beautiful glamping cabins.
But beware, this captivating venue comes with its own set of dangers, so be sure to take necessary precautions before exploring its abandoned structures.
