The Mystery of the Twisted Forest of Poland | What caused it?

The human being does not stop intervening in nature for millennia.It takes advantage of natural resources and also in many cases modifies the environment according to its convenience.The case we want to talk about today is, apparently, the result of one of these human interventions.However, no one seems to remember to alter the natural growth of these trees or if it was something natural.Please join us the Mystery of the Twisted Forest of Poland.What caused it?

The man needs the natural resources that our planet offers him and takes advantage of the water, the plants or the earth.He uses the environment to obtain a refuge, to feed himself and a host of other things, but sometimes he goes beyond and exceeds the limits of what is necessary and modifies nature in an abusive manner.In the case of the twisted forest of Poland, the change in the natural growth of some trees has produced a landscape that is visited by thousands of tourists annually It does not seem to have affected the pine trees beyond giving them an unusual figure and perhaps limiting their growth to just over 12 meters.

The Mystery of the Twisted Forest of Poland

En In the region of Western Pomerania, Poland, on the outskirts of the city of Nowe Czarnowo, there is a natural site called Krzywy Las.It is a forest that occupies 1.7 hectares in a sector of which we find the curious trees that occupy us today.It is a little more than a hundred trees that have a completely twisted trunk.They are common pines whose trunk bends at an angle of almost 90º to about 20 cm.From the ground.That strange curvature can measure up to three meters above the ground.Total height of the pines that is usually between 10 and 12 meters.It is known as the Twisted Forest of Poland.

The pines were planted in Krzywy Las in the 1930s and the curve they all present is in the north direction.From the total extent of Krzywy Las, only 0'3% is occupied by these curious specimens and the rest of the forest is inhabited by straight pines, which makes the vision of that mysterious area more amazing and spectacular.

Most of those who have studied the twisted forest of Poland believe that its strange forms were caused by some technique or tool such as the placement of a stop when the pines were between 6 and 10 years old, which forced them to bend The age of the tree at the time of deformation is known thanks to the knots, the result of the cutting of branches, which are at the same height as the twist.This action could be due to the need to provide the market of naturally curved woods for manufacture boats or furniture although both the technique and the motive are a mystery in the today.

The most pilgrim theories about the motive of the twisted forest of Poland are the ones that blame the curve of the pines upon landing at the zone of an extraterrestrial ship that twisted the trunks of the trees or makes them the homes of the spirits of the ancient inhabitants of those lands.In addition, new stories or adapting ancient legends have been woven around the formation of these mysterious deformities including that be a modification caused by a snowstorm.

One of the latest proposed theories argues that the trees were planted and felled for Christmas trees, but for some reason the lender who The short one left one of the last branches on the stump.This branch grew laterally until I resume the verticality becoming the trunk of the tree and leaving in its growth this strange curvature that although it occurred naturally is the result of a prior to human action.

In the world there are other curious groves such as the twisted forest of Poland , but they are usually the result of a work of the Nature.One of the most impressive is the Avenida de los Baobabs of Madagascar in which there are trees over 30 meters high and 800 years old.The Bamboo Forest of Japan is also worth mentioning.It is located at the foot of Mount Arashiyama, on the island of Kyoto.Considered one of the most spiritual places in the world and also "National Historic Site" of Japan is of unparalleled beauty.In it you can find more than 50 varieties of bamboo and among them specimens that exceed 20 meters high.When they are rocked by the wind , produce a sound so characteristic and peculiar that has made it become part of a list made by the Japanese government entitled "100 sounds to be protected in Japan."

Join us to discover it! We don't die crushed by the weight of the atmosphere As we have said, the air molecules that make up the atmosphere, although they are too small for us to see, have a certain weight .One by one they have a weight practically non-existent, but together, at sea level, they cause a pressure on our body equivalent to 10,000 kg.per square meter.About 10 cm.squared the pressure is 1,000 kg., that is a ton.our head we have an atmospheric pressure equivalent to the weight of a car small...and yet we don't die crushed by the weight of the atmosphere . The answer to this phenomenon is in balance .The pressure in the...
