Crooked Forest

The Crooked Forest is a grove of oddly-shaped Scots pine trees located in the village of Nowe Czarnowo near the town of Gryfino, West Pomerania, in north-western Poland. It is a protected natural monument of Poland. A the time of planting this location was part of the German province of Pomerania.

This grove of 400 pines was planted in around 1930. Each pine tree bends sharply to the north, just above ground level, then curves back upright after a sideways excursion of one to three meters. The curved pines are enclosed by a surrounding forest of straight pine trees. The trees grow to about 50 feet in height.
