Cold War Relics Sleeping in Hungary Tuesday, July 14th, 21:00 Copyright: 2026 Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. or its subsidiaries and affiliates. All rights reserved. Starting from Budapest, the capital of Hungary, we head to Miskolc, an industrial city in the northeast, with ruins explorer Bob Thyssen. The former "Uno Hotel," opened in 1974 and located in the hot spring resort of Miskolctapolca, is a ruin that still holds the glory and secrets of the socialist era. Furthermore, in Cold War-era air-raid shelters scattered in the suburbs, gas masks and medical equipment are found almost as they were. We delve into spaces prepared for the fear of nuclear war, re-experiencing the reality of history and the traces of humanity. Maginot Line Sleeping in the Alps Tuesday, July 21st, 21:00 Copyright: 2026 Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. or its subsidiaries and affiliates. All rights reserved. Set in the French Alps near the Italian border in southeastern France, we trace the front lines of history. In the mountainous regions that were fierce battlegrounds in World War I and World War II, the Italian military battery "Batteria Lacco" and the massive fortress "Fort de la Redoute" built in the 19th century still lie dormant. We then challenge the Lavoir Fortress of the Maginot Line, located near Modane. Inside the fortress, where time has stood still for over 80 years, we unearth the memories of people tossed about by borders and wars. Sicily Buried in Darkness Tuesday, July 28th, 21:00 Copyright: 2026 Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. or its subsidiaries and affiliates. All rights reserved. Set on the island of Sicily, we pursue a "shadow history." In Poggioreale Vecchia, a ghost town devastated by a major earthquake in 1968, the church, school, and olive oil mill remain as ruins, and the memories of the residents still live on. We then head to the giant sulfur mines in the inland region: "Trabona Sulphur Mine" and "Bosco Mine." Harsh labor, child labor, and connections with the mafia... From the scars of industry and crime etched into the ruins, another face of paradise Sicily emerges. ■Program Title: "Ruins Adventure Season 1" (New Program) ■Broadcast Date & Time: Starting Tuesday, July 14th, 21:00 Regular Broadcast: Every Tuesday 21:00 Rebroadcast: Mondays 19:00, etc. ■Discovery Channel Discovery Channel is a media outlet that provides high-quality experiences to ignite people's passion and satisfy their curiosity worldwide.
