Plenty of such places in Italy too, in the Desenzano lake it's easier to find WW2 memorabilia than to avoid it.

We've learned at school that more people died to bombs in Italy post WW2 than during the war itself, it wasn't even close. I remember in the 2000s a single year made around 6 victims.

Most of the bombs are really at sea and lakes, and we still have around 250000 to a million unexploded bombs on our territory.

Most would not explode, but some are very dangerous because the triggers are the only parts that corrode and get ruined more easily thus making the bombs unstable.
