The information already existed. The overview did not.
Locations were scattered across separate lists, old posts and different maps. What was missing was one clear place to prepare a region or deliberately choose a single location.
About UrbexNow
It did not start as a webshop.
It started with searching.
UrbexNow grew from the same frustration many explorers recognise: endlessly searching, outdated lists and information scattered everywhere.
In one sentence
Search less. Prepare better. Discover more.
Built from within the scene
By explorers.
For explorers.
For explorers.
Maps complete regions
Individual locations choose precisely
Community updates and experiences
Digital made for the road
Our story
Two friends.
The same fascination.
UrbexNow grew from a shared interest in abandoned places and the stories still visible there. Not to take away the discovery, but to make the search more organised.
From endless searching to focused planning.
That is why we combine complete urbex maps with individual locations. This lets every explorer decide how much information is needed for the next route.
A platform that evolves with explorers.
Location updates, new spots, experiences and trade proposals help improve information and identify changes more quickly.
What we stand for
No grand story.
Four clear choices.
UrbexNow does not need to be complicated. Its value lies in clarity, usability and a platform that fits how explorers actually search.
Clarity over chaos
Maps and country structures instead of endless lists of separate links.
Usability over decoration
Information that remains useful on your phone while preparing and on the road.
Community over silence
Updates and experiences from explorers help make changes visible more quickly.
Respect over sensation
Do not force entry, damage anything or take anything, and respect local rules.
What UrbexNow is
A tool.
Not a guarantee.
Urbex locations can change quickly. Every route therefore requires your own preparation, and every access situation remains the explorer’s own responsibility.

Access to a site
A location on a map does not automatically mean that entering is permitted.
An unchanged situation
A building may be closed off, renovated, demolished or secured.
A risk-free experience
Every explorer assesses safety, permission and local regulations for themselves.
Explore responsibly
The map helps you search.
You decide how you act.
You decide how you act.
The next route
You still have to discover the place yourself.
We only help make the preparation shorter and clearer. Choose a complete map or start with one individual location.
