    In Belgium, we have the same thing. The explanation is that the highest point of the country is at 694 m, so they built 6 m of stairs to reach 700 m.

    Free stairs!!

    Most people don’t know this, but there is no law prohibiting you from just taking any ominous stairs you happen upon in the woods. I have like 20 of them at home already.
    (I’m stacking them to hopefully one day reach hell)

    Me: “Yeah… No fucking way i’ll go up that.”

    My hiking expert friend: “Good, you already know of the curse.”

    [Me at my first hiking experience; Sweating and cursing, with every single muscle of my body screaming in pain] “What curse?”

      I was gonna say… All the comments here are people wanting to ascend the stairs. You NEVER ascend the stairs. You stay the hell away from them! Only bad things come from messing with random stairs in the woods. Has no one here read the Search and Rescue Officer stories on Reddit?!

      Here’s the beginning of his series. The last story on this page is about the stairs, but if you continue reading his other posts in the series, he eventually meets another SAR officer who goes into depth about horror stories involving the stairs.

        I always imagined the stairs from that story to be either wooden or stone, without railings, and more dilapidated than in OP’s pic.

          In some of his stories, he described the stairs as being perfect and brand-new, as if a modern house just disappeared and left behind its stairs.

          It somehow makes it more creepy that they look like they’ve just been misplaced in space/time, instead of being an ancient crumbling relic of the past.

        Well, somebody get someone to dispatch a Mobile Task Force stat, or we’re going to end up with some eldritch abomination popping through a portal, tap dancing down those stairs and eating everyone’s eyeballs. I mean, we’re probably going to end up with that anyway, but I’d feel a lot more comfortable knowing there’s a MTF on standby.
