We've all read a book or watched a movie where the characters are in a haunted forest or enchanted, which seems to have come out of something like a fairy tale. The fog, the tallest trees than skyscrapers and the colors are the ingredients that make up these magical fictional scenarios. However, there are very real forests that easily could have left one of these fairy tales.
1. Forest pie, Poland
Located in the immediate vicinity of the village of Nowe Czarnowo, West Poland, there is a forest with 400 pine trees. The forest would be nothing extraordinary was the fact that not all pine trees grow with a sharp bend. Apart from this detail the forest got nothing out of the ordinary. The trees that grow around the site are perfectly normal and grow straight. It is believed that the forest Pie was planted in the 1930 by the Germans, at which point this area of Poland was part of the German province of Pomerania. Studies indicate that and the way that the trees have been caused by humans, but not yet proved how the Germans created this forest curve.
2. forest of North Sentinel Island, Bay of BengalÂ
The forest of North Sentinel Island, in the Bay of Bengal, is one of the few forests still remain intact. The forest covers the entire island, with 72 km2, being surrounded by coral barriers, not possessing natural harbours, which hinders the arrival of man. The island also boasts the last existing tribe pré-neolÃtica. This tribe does not contact with the outside world and when the first modern humans tried to explore the island were parted with darts and arrows.
3. Bialowieza National Park, Poland and Belarus
The Bialowieza National Park is a forest that runs through the territory of Poland and Belarus and seems to have been transported directly from ancient times. Is the last surviving primitive forest in Europe and experts consider it as a time capsule with 7,000 years. Within the borders of the Park wolves roam freely, grow some of the oldest oak trees and tall in the world and live small creatures like the Pygmy owls.
4.-B, in nearby Floresta Roménia
Of course, not all fairy tales have happy endings. And the Hoia-Baciu forest could be a good place for a less happy ending. Concerned as more haunted forest in the world and located in the region of Transylvania, in Romania, the site is searched by reports of paranormal activities that happen there. The forest name was given by the inhabitants of nearby villages after a pastor have entered the forest with its 200 sheep and disappear without a trace.
5. bamboo forest in Sagano, Japan
Located at a small distance of Kyoto, the bamboo forest in Sagano is, as the name indicates, entirely composed of bamboo trees. Despite not being the typical forest of Western fairy tales, is part of the imaginary Japanese rider.
