Crooked Forest, Gryfino:
The crooked forest is a natural marvel located outside a tiny town named Gryfino. All bent northward, a number of pine trees growing with an angle of 90-degree at their base stand at their own. Initially planted in the 1930s but it took about ten years for the pines to show their diverse natural bent. There are many theories that these pines were created artificially by manipulating the trees, but no one knows whether it happened accidentally or naturally. Irrespective of the cause, the uncanny presence of the trees is hard to deny as the rest of the forest is filled with perfectly straight, healthy pine trees, but it is an excellent place to hike where you can enjoy the silence of a forest.
