Crooked Forest, Nature reserve in West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland.
The forest contains 400 pine trees that bend sharply northward at their base, forming identical C-shaped curves before growing vertically again.
The trees were planted around 1930, during a period when this region was part of Germany, with local farmers managing the land for specific purposes.
Scientists and researchers from multiple countries regularly visit this location to study the growth patterns and document the unexplained formation of these trees.
The forest remains open to visitors throughout the year, with direct access from the road between Gryfino and Nowe Czarnowo villages.
Each pine tree in this grove bends at a 90-degree angle approximately three feet above the ground, creating a uniform pattern across the entire area.
