Crooked Forest

 Forests are a gift of nature. Forests and views will attract any nature lover. There are diverse views on earth. The view in a forest near the small town of Grifino in Poland is astonishing. In the middle of a dense pine forest, only a few trees are crooked. The part of the trees that are crooked to the north in a special way is called the Crooked Forest. These trees are very similar to the letter J in English.


Grifino, a small town in West Pomerania, Poland, is also a famous tourist destination in northwestern Poland. If you ask why these trees are like this, there is no exact answer. The crooked forest consists of pine trees that have a 90-degree bend from the base. If the bends are avoided, the trees are healthy and grow up to 50 feet tall.


 The forest is estimated to have 400 trees, but the Forest Department says there are fewer than 100 crooked pines in a two-hectare area. The trees were planted between 1930 and 1945. They were between 7 and 10 years old when they were planted. There are several theories as to why the pines are crooked. One theory suggests that pines of different lengths were planted in the 1930s and then bent when German tanks ran over them during World War II. Others suggest that heavy snowfall, gravity, genetic modification, and aliens have altered the shape of the trees. There is also the argument that farmers deliberately bent the trees artificially to grow crooked wood for shipbuilding or furniture. The Crooked Forest is an unexplained phenomenon.
