For this urbex adventure I'm in Belgium and explore a recently abandoned NATO radar and bunker. This control and report center was established in 1951 and a 3 story bunker opened in 1955 with the task of guarding the airspace of Belgium and Luxembourg. The complex closed in 2021.

Hi, Al. This video is about an abandoned military NATO bunker and radar. Please show it to people who will like it. Thank you.
as usual, great explore Bob!! nice to see a facility that hasn't been vandalized or covered with graffiti.
Thanks a lot as always Matt :) Some really amazing & unique explores coming up in may or so.
Give it time some ass-hats will find it and deface it!!
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath we can't wait!! well, we can.. but!! have fun Bob + friends!!!
That's because the place just got shutdown in 2021
I think the opposite. It unfortunate there’s no graffiti yet, all those blank canvases :/
I worked 16 years in an exact same facility in the NL as a Fighter Controller. For a short while I worked in this Belgian bunker in 1988 and visited later again for operational work. All fighter operations were directed and controlled from the facility. The same radar was teared down in the north of the Netherlands where a new, modern is built. But there is still one intact and operational in the center of NL. The work was in shifts. The sticker you filmed is a class sticker from the NL Military Academy. If I am not wrong there was a fire in this Belgian bunker before 1988 where people died because of getting trapped. After that fire the safety regulations and facilities were changed to prevent it.
Hi Michel, nice! Must be much more impressive when it’s in use. Thanks for your additional (and sad) info. About the Dutch places I know… maybe I’ll be able to explore it one day but I doubt it😄
And then long winding up and down noise of sirens began
Think they'll reactivate this one in preparation for WW3?
Crazy how recent this was abandoned! Dope experience as always, sir!
It'll be re-opened and upgraded soon. European safety is back to cold war, not long until that's gonna be visible in daily life (tank transport, more public military training etc..)
Modern multitask radar needed
@@brainthesizeofplanet europe is collapsing. there will be no more public anything.
@@brainthesizeofplanet o ja? Think so?
@@brainthesizeofplanet but until then it's money out of the window soo it's a bulshit what they doo letting all this facility like this .
Can't believe it was abounded in 2021? They got some use out of it. Looks so new. Freshest/newest bunker I've ever seen. I wonder how many NATO bunkers are still active?
A sight for sore eyes; A facility that hasn't been vandalized, the cables stolen out of it, or with graffitti all over the place. Great video.
Brilliant vid. The recent bunker finds are pure gold. If they can abandon such a significant facility it makes you wonder where they moved everything too.
Amazing bunker in pristine condition. I just wish you had made a 2nd part video, this bunker is to big for one video!
I agree with that.
I love cold war era stuff. Here in the states, I love collecting civil defense cold war things, like rations and fallout shelter signs. Great video, very well documented sir. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for checking out! I love cold war stuff too. Found some really unique stuff (you can find more stuff on this channel) But the most amazing cold war place they sued me for “possessing state secrets, spying and entering military grounds” 😵💫🙄
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath i made sure to subscribe, great channel sir. I'm sorry to hear they did that to you thats ridiculous. I hope the charges and suit were dropped. Stay safe out there. Cheers
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPathDid they sue you for entering this place? Insane ! Was it guarded or difficult to enter the premises ?
That looked so cool! I wonder if the bunker could ever be repurposed. Structurally, it looks in perfect condition.
Yeah why the fuck would they abandon this? Humans are stupidly wasteful lol
@@imonke5303 Well clearly you have no idea how expensive it is to maintain the bunker -_- and, no it will not reopen
@@imonke5303 that's what I'm saying
@@ofkacz5348 clearly you dont realize how much the world governments waste money, time, and resources.
Visited this place today. The bunker is closed off sadly but the radar still looks as good
What a coincidence! I was here today too
It never cease to amaze me your work. I so admire you! Greetings from Colombia.
This was the amazing exploration video Bob , love your videos
Really fascinating explore😍 Loved those paintings and murals🎨🖼
Sehr toll, Bob!! Magnificent, as always!
I discovered this YT channel just two hours ago, it's Amazing! What incredibile places! Great job guys!
Check out the top 10 most dangerous adventures too!😄😇
Brilliant explore thanks for sharing👏👏👏
Loved this one very rare to get in to a clean unabused bunker with so much stuff left
Cool video like always. The location is just amazing
Thank you from Australia. May you be safe in all endeavours 🙏
Great stuff, thank you for showing
I enjoyed this and found it one of your best explorations. I think it so amazing to find such a large facility completely unvandalised.
Love these videos! Stay safe!
I served at a CAS site near Ulm back in the mid 70's. I was with Pershing at Wiley in Neu Ulm. Nice video.
Your videos are so good. Keep up the good work!!!
Thanks for the videos! Your explorations keep my curiosity at bay. I love checking out abandoned places as well. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Richard, some real amazing places coming up in the next month or so😃
Fun stuff. Great video!
👍👊😎
Another great video amazing the size of the place
Excellent Video, that place is huge. It is in great condition, no water leaking in. Please show more of this place.👍✌️
If this is where I think it is, I passed some time there during my military service in 1972 as part of an extra security detachment of the Belgian Airforce
Excellent!!!! New Brunswick Canada 🇨🇦
Good documentation bob!
This is right in my wheelhouse and so newly abandoned - excellent explore! 👍
Thanks! Some places don't get the chance to decay and have to be explored immediately 😀
belllissimo video!!!! grazie per icontenuti che ci porti!!!
That was fascinating man!
Excellent content !! The best channel
What a great video you made. And the fact the facility was abandoned fairly recently makes it even more interesting. Btw, just for the record: Belgium has three official languages, Dutch/Flemish, French and German :)
wow - another great Exploration from the doyen of SubEx!
Pure awesomeness mate, what a cool room with the paintings, VIP room?
Amazing explore folk :)
I love the mural by the way still in great shape
One of the best videos on old radar I've ever seen
A very nice explore thnx.
Really interesting video, that place is vast and I can't believe you just walked right in!!
It was closed before. Went in with a ladder before. For now it's open, but that will change fast I'm afraid of.
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath
Glad you returned!! Sounds like it won't remain open for much longer.....
Love the Comic Sans type on the official government memo
i like the vid. good vid bob
Very cool! I can imagine all the hustle & bustle going on in this place.
Thanks for checking out again Andrea :) Must have been a really crowded place with nearly 300 people indeed. Next episode (in 2 weeks) Is about a creepy hospital where they left everything behind... even human organs :O
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath oh wow! Can’t wait for that one! 👍🏻☺️
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath Can't wait for it
that mural room is incredible
Great video!
Really good content!
So wonderful 👍 it's looking still in use ,many things and machines left behind. Nice well arranged bunker
Thanks! It was abandoned not too long ago. Meanwhile it has been vandalized🤨😞
Esplorazione fantastica Bob! 🔝💪🏻💪🏻🙋🏻
Thanks a million 🙏
Very cool! I Just found your channel
amazing to see there are still equipments remaining
Leuke video weer Bob zo als altijd! :)
Just amazing!
Enjoyed the video
Great video ! You’re the best !
Thanks, next episode in 2 weeks. A really creepy hospital where they left everything behind..even human organs... And after that also some unique & never seen before locations :)
Awesome video
A few days ago I passed a live radar when hiking, amazed to see the inside😍
Ah nice! They all look different from the inside :) have seen a few of them
Top Video 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Fantastic explore. Thank you.
It's hard to believe it's only been abandoned ONE year, and it's already in such bad condition on the exterior.
it was being used off the books. ask yourself why they are running NBC filters and why NATO walked away from national defense as soon as Biden got in.
Bad condition!?
That is really cool! It would be awesome for someone to build their house on that that bunker.
They were ready to hunker down and fight. Solid build, like a tomb
Looking at what you explored there.... It was really seriously interesting to understand that it was much more than just a radar... That thing is more like an awac sitting on the ground..... And I've been through a few of those and that's an understatement bank vault doors as I call them.... Yeah that wouldn't have been a good deal for you to get stuck behind one of those doors and have it close and somehow lock..... Because nobody would be coming to save you with the combination....some of those doors are half mechanical half electronic..
I didn't even like going in and getting locked in behind those things knowing that I had an entire military base behind me to get me out..... Even a big room can feel awfully claustrophobic behind one of those doors......
Awesome exploration! I would love to explore something like this one day!
Thanks Samuel! Where are you from?
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath Montreal, Canada. I know that we have NATO installations in Canada, but all the sites I know of are still active.
@@samuelgilbert9734 Do you know about the Diefenbunker museum in Ottawa?
@@TheMan1510 Nope, but I guess I need to put it on my todo list!
WOW!!!! Amazing!!!
Another great episode!!! You guys definitely have balls of steel!!!
For this place balls of steel are not needed. It was just too easy☺️ we have some episodes i. Stock where you did need them haha😁
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath This i call Friendly true Understatement. Absolutly Different to the most German RUclipsrs. Most of them are horrible. They spoke 100% Shit, have no Background and do it only for Klicks and Likes.
Respect for You.....!!!!
Greetings from your Neighbour Germany..
@@MrAlby076 Thanks, spread the word :) And you cshould check out our latest episode too !
Really love what you doing
Thanks! Did you see some newer episodes?☺️
Super nice location! NADGE = NATO Air Defense Ground Environment, so think like Stinger sites, and like our own Patriot systems in the Netherlands. The radar you see looks like a little bit like the LW-06 from Holland Signal. Nowadays stations like these use the SMART-L from THALES. Looks like you did your homework and study on this bunker very well :) Great location! I really like the shelter bunker, looks pretty old!
Very interesting video!
Thanks a lot for checking out Mike :)
Awesome!
Really nice to see something that isn't a ruin or trashed. Slightly amazed that it isn't more secure given that it's still got viable (although outdated) equipment.
People are more intelligent now. You always learn more never less.
Something the video can't give us is the Atmosphere of the place. It would have been awesome to see in person. The place is obviously still live if you push all the breakers back on. I wish I could have seen it, so envious of you
Very interesting ! I like bunkers !!They are fascinating !!!!! 😀
A very very epic & unique underground location is coming up..probably in may.
Amazing content AGAIN.
Have you seen the underground power station in Malta? That is a crazy one😁

I work at a demolition job and last year in the netherlands little village calles wier we had one taking down , was a nice experience looking inside of it
Why do they demolish them ? Do they reuse the land for military purposes or sell it for civilian purposes ? It seems like it would be cheaper just to seal them up and leave them.
Wow it recently closed. That’s wild Man. It looks likes it’s been closed for longer
Nice Video
First time i see the bunker 😯
Need to do a revisit
Worth it :) I also missed it last year. (I knew it was there but thought it was still a live military place)
Geweldig weer Bob!
Thanks en tot snel Anne!🤩😎
Very cool! Surprised they left all that radar equipment
Thanks for checking out Barney🤩 Yes most of the time these are emptied pretty quick.
Weerom een héél goede video!
Very cool place 👍👍
This surrounding area looked well maintained.. the grass looks being cut regularly.. so who's actually the owner of this land ?
Amazing
amazing how 'simple' it is inside the dome. Looks like a 007 set
It's so great you documented this before it gets completely vandalized by idiots.
Showing the entrance and location like this will ensure it gets vandalized.
@@neonalon Getting 90.000 views in a few weeks time as well.
I think this bunker will soon be in operation again! Don’t worry
@@snowrabbit9558 lmao. no.
@@neonalon didn't even explore all of it either :(
11:05 I like the Comic Sans-ish font choice here for the Authorised Personnel Protected Room document.
Ben er gister geweest niet normaal groot zeg, wel blij dat het niet gesloopt is door koper dieven etc.
En op 19:18 ben ik omlaag geklommen je kon officieel nog dieper alleen hebben ze dicht gegooid met zand.
Keep up the good work!
Deze is in Luik toch?
I liked it, so here is a comment and a thumbs up👍
Thanks for checking out😎👊 we have better episodes!
Very cool place ... should be sealed to preserve it, might need them bunkers again soon.
Yeah, I wonder how many shelters and bunkers are being cleaned now…
I Really appreciate your chann!!!
it would be cool revamping one of these and claiming it
seems dagerous af to do this alone
At least you're less likely to get caught I guess
Beautiful exploration, they are always fascinating and particular, was it a former CAOC?
Yes :)
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath I found out, it was a CRC, no CAOC
@@winterburan CRC I mention in the episode. Googled it and CAOC was also standing at this location... weird.
The location hosted a CRC (Control and Reporting Centre) who was supposed to compile the air picture in its zone and who was supposed to weapon engagement with aircraft ans missiles (Hawk and Nike). This location also hosted a CAOC in case the genuine CAOC was inoperable (maintenance,...); it was not a permanent CAOC....
@@derekwindels4988 Where is this place located in Belgium ?
Nice one BoB
Thanks mate ! Been on quite some epic adventures but have to keep those locations offline :D
Another great exploration,👍🏻
Wow wouldnt that make a brilliant workshop and living space, I wonder when it will be sold off and for how much, its very neat
Apart from the postman being long gone when you finally answer the door.
I have a dumb question, are there any efforts being made to preserve this site? It seems like it is in great condition and with a few repairs/updates it could be a great museum.
No, It’s sealed off now but I guess nothing will happen with it.
Awesome. 🥰
