49 Abandoned Landmarks That Are More Beautiful Than Ever

34. Sarajevo Olympic Bobsleigh Track, Bosnia and Herzegovina

Carved into Mount Trebević above Sarajevo, the 1984 Winter Olympics bobsleigh and luge track is now a colossal concrete serpent reclaimed by nature and art. Damaged during the Bosnian War in the 1990s, when it was used as an artillery position, its massive, curving structure was left abandoned. Today, the forest encroaches on its edges, while the track itself has become an ever-evolving canvas for vibrant graffiti artists. Walking its length is a surreal experience, a potent symbol of fleeting Olympic glory, wartime devastation, and artistic rebirth amidst decay.
