  • Here in Germany too. My dad even found a hand grenade with some friends when they were kids.

    There is a new undetonated bomb found about once per year or so where I live(Aachen). But roman structures are way more common here. Basically every new construction, they dig up a roman wall or something similar, and then they have to get archeologogists to check out if it is significant enough to be preserved. The whole city is littered with windows in the floor to see those structures.






  • The closest was probably a mountainbiking accident.

    We were going along side a hill and to the right of us was a wall going down holding the earth up. Well there came an obstacle up which was a big roller to the right up the hill a bit and then down again to the ledge. The roller took a slight curve and you needed to curve back on the trail to not go over the ledge. I broke the first rule of mountainbiking and looked down the ledge which was like 3-4m high instead of ahead. Drove straight of it but somehow managed to grab a branch of a tree that was just above the ledge. My bike fell down and i just hung in the tree allowing me to safely drop down and carry the bike back up.

    Nothing happened to me but i don’t want to imagine what would have happened if i didn’t grab that branch.
