About Urbex

Urbexology is a collaborative map of more than 1,000 potentially abandoned places for urban exploration research. It offers map, satellite, terrain and 3D views with historical information, filters for forest locations, industrial zones and building area, alert zones for new spots, and options to add spots or report errors.

Use is limited to adults aged 21 and over and requires email verification. Positions are approximate and often obsolete, with no proof that places are abandoned, safe, or accessible.
