May I enter a lost place?
Not without the owner's explicit permission. Always respect barriers, signs and private property. This app documents places and never grants permission to enter them.
Help & safety
Everything you should know about using the map and documenting abandoned places responsibly.
Before every trip
A map marker never grants access. Property rights, local law and your safety always come first.
How should I behave?
Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Do not remove or damage anything, leave no rubbish and protect nature, wildlife and the history of each place.
How long has LostPlaceUltimate existed?
Development began on 5 May 2022 and the first Google Play release followed on 12 May 2022. The grown platform is now being modernised and revived.
Are all places still there?
Not necessarily. We depend on current community reports. Please report removed, inaccessible or dangerous places so the entry can be reviewed.
Which categories are available?
The 13 main categories are bunker, house, farm, hotel, church, hospital, military, restaurant, school, transport, company, mine and other, plus many subcategories.
How do I navigate to a place?
Select a map marker and open its details. A route never constitutes permission to enter and may end at the nearest publicly accessible point.
What do the marker levels mean?
Cyan marks a regular entry, yellow means a report is being reviewed, red warns about danger and grey with a cross marks a removed or unavailable place.
How do I report a place?
Open the marker and choose Report. Describe the issue with accurate, current information. Photos can be submitted using the email address generated for your report.
How do I suggest a new place?
Use Suggest a place and send its category, location and a short description. Every submission is reviewed before publication. Never publish sensitive access information.
What are the benefits of an account?
An account enables chat, direct comments, ratings, favourites and visited places. Suggestions and reports can also be submitted without an account.
How does search work?
Search by ID, postcode, city, category or subcategory. Entry IDs may also be included in shared LostPlaceUltimate posts.
What safety precautions should I take?
Never go alone or enter unstable buildings. Be aware of hazardous materials, glass and unsecured shafts. If in doubt, turn around and keep your distance.
