Hidden From The World: These Are The Biggest Abandoned Places On Earth

The Châtillon Car Graveyard, Belgium

A graveyard of hundreds of half-dismantled and rusty classic American cars in a Belgian forest is quite fascinating, right? Well, the graveyard is in Châtillon, a village in southern Belgium. The cars in the graveyard used to belong to the US soldiers that were stationed in Belgium on behalf of NATO during World War II.

There was a mechanic in the village that used to repair the cars, but the war ended and the soldiers had to leave their cars behind. Although it was up to every soldier to make a decision on whether to take the car back to their country, most of them decided not to take them. It is because they had to pay for the shipping. It took years for nature to take over the cars. Now, most of the abandoned cars have been removed due to environmental reasons. But there are still many left in the forest.
