Location Description:
The former “Rükana” section of the VEB Chemical Plant Coswig in Rüdersdorf near Berlin is now a typical abandoned site from the GDR industrial era. The facility was originally used for chemical production and processing but was shut down after German reunification. Since then, the site has largely been left to its own devices.
Today, the site appears largely gutted: most of the buildings are empty, and the machinery and equipment have mostly been removed. What remains here and there are relics such as old files, documents, or traces of its former use, which give a glimpse into what daily work life was like. The atmosphere is marked by decay, overgrown vegetation, and partially damaged structures. Security is not very tight; standing in front of the main gate, you can head right into a small grove. Eventually, you come to railroad tracks and a bridge; the bridge is blocked by another gate. However, you can easily climb under it or go around it along the railing—now you’re on the grounds. Occasionally, you’ll encounter drone pilots testing their drones there. No security guards or similar personnel were seen.

Backpack
At 300$, this backpack is certainly not one of the cheapest backpacks, but we can say with a clear conscience that it is money well spent. It is well produced, has some well thought-out functions and still looks nice. Despite the high price, this backpack also has 4.5 stars out of 300 Amazon reviews.
4-Gas Monitor
A 4-gas monitor detects and measures not only carbon monoxide but also the levels of oxygen, combustible gases and hydrogen sulphide and ensures safety in hazardous environments by indicating dangerous gas concentrations. Highly recommended especially in bunkers and places where there is not much fresh air
