Deze oude fabriek die later een zoo werd is een prachtige plaats om foto's te nemen de natuur heeft al zijn best gedaan om zijn plaats terug op te eisen. Dus voor de decay liefhebbers echt een aanrader.
Voor de mensen die fan zijn van grafitti daar kun je zeker je honger stillen enkele pracht exemplaren te spotten. En voor de mensen die ervan houden om te shooten ook een aanrader kort om voor ieder wat wils en zeker de moeite waard 👌

Nice location of an abandoned building in the middle of a neighbourhood. The place has some cool asthetic photo spots but is mostly decayed already.
The building next to it has 2 aggressive dogs but once on the terain i never saw those dogs again. i think there is a fence between the two buildings so you dont need to worry.

Alleen nog wat lege gebouwen en wat overblijfselen wat ooit de hokken geweest zijn uit de tijd dat het een dierentuin is geweest. Geen details om wat graffiti na.
Niet heel interessant, als je in de buurt bent en je hebt een 1/2 uur over dan is wel grappig om er even langs te gaan.
--------------------------------------
Just some empty buildings and some left overs of the cages. No details, only some graffiti
Not really interesting, only if you ar close and have some left-over time.

This is one of the locations that probably everyone has seen. So what to say about it?
It is really strange to me that all those abandoned mines are often just around the corner of someone's house. This one is located at the edge of a street. The front part of the ground has apparently been sold to a concrete factory of some kind. The premises were locked off, and there were two very angry dogs guarding the grounds. We walked around them and entered the buildings from the back, no problem at all.
These dogs were fenced in but nevertheless, they followed us around the whole time we were there, so it is probably wise to stay as far away from them as possible, as they didn't stop barking.
Well at least one of them, the other one must have barked a bit too much, as all he could produce was this whiny whistling sound, the poor guy...

One of my first exploration. Nice place to take pictures.
When we were there, they were a bunch of kids from the neighboor playing so it's not super hidded :)
The view from one of the building was really pretty in autumn with the trees.
Don't go near the dogs (you can hear them barking, they guard the site next to this one), they can't get up and into the place and you don't need to go near them to enter. There is a fence you can just pass around on the side (100 meters frome the dog's gate).

Voor een gebouw wat al 50 jaar leeg staat is het zeker de moeite waard. Wij hadden de auto op het parkeerterrein gezet vlakbij de locatie. Niet aan de voorkant naar binnen maar aan de zijkant. Het hek even opzij zetten en zo naar binnen. Geen honden gehoord. Wel was er wat plaatselijke jeugd aan het rondzwerven daar. Maar die waren heel vriendelijk.En ze zijn er inderdaad nog aan het werk daar in een gebouw wat er vroeger ook bij hoorde. Enige wat in gebruik is. Maar daar werd zoveel herrie gemaakt dat wij niet opvielen.
Ga in de hal ook bij de trap naar beneden . Daar kom je in een soort kelder met nog leuke attributen.
Wel gek dat er ooit een dierentuin in is gevestigd. Dit heeft gelukkig maar 3 jaar geduurd. De kooien zijn nog te zien. Altijd voorzichtig zijn want er zijn veel gaten in de vloeren.Maar wij hadden mooi weer en konden erg mooie foto's maken.
Dagje Charleroi gecombineerd met de Powerplant en de verlaten Metrolijn.

Today we visited this beautiful location. To get in: don’t take the big gate where the dogs are barking. Walk across the location & on the right you will see a fence that you can open very easy!

Toffe locatie, makkelijk binnen te komen, beetje zachtjes gedaan omdat ze aan het werk waren in het naastliggende bedrijf. Veilig, maar ik zou niet naar boven gaan!

The Charbonnage n°10 "du Gouffre" was the main and last coal factory of the Charbonnages du Gouffre company, which started its activities in 1916. This building in particular was built after in 1934. It was closed in 1969, then the site was converted into a zoo between 1979 and 1982 before becoming the property of a car deconstructor. It's now completely abandoned and well-known by urbexers in Belgium.
The place is quite nice for photography, I find it particularly photogenic during sunset hours. It was one of my first explorations at the time.
