Oman today_ The Crooked Forest (Krzywy Las) is one of the most fascinating forests in Poland, located near the town of Grzefino in the western part of the country. This forest is home to about 400 pine trees that bend near the ground, forming shapes similar to the letter “J” in the English alphabet. There are various theories about why the trees are bent. Some believe that forest rangers in the 1930s intentionally bent the young trees in order to produce wood with a specific shape. Another theory suggests that the trees were buried under heavy snow during their early growth and, after being freed, grew in a crooked manner. Additionally, there are stories and myths that offer non-scientific explanations for this phenomenon, but none of them have scientific backing. To reach this forest from the town of Grzefino, there is a clear route, and it is open to the public. The best time to visit is in spring or summer when the weather is mild, and nature is lush. The Crooked Forest, with its unique features, is an intriguing destination for nature enthusiasts and those interested in unusual natural phenomena.
