Experienced botanists or specialized investigators, or even both, none has the answer to the mystery of Krzywy lasthe “twisted trees forest”, in Poland. Yet it is not the missing hypotheses. But none really managed to hit the bull's eye.
No, you will come across 400, on 1.7 hectare. A large -scale anomaly that makes nature exceptional? Maybe. But all the trees are twisted according to the same angle and are all oriented in the same direction, the north. So, always an anomaly or an amazing mystery that deserves an investigation?
Science and Internet users have made their choice and the twisted trees therefore deserve an investigation which has seen many hypotheses hatched for years, without ever getting their hands on a particular response.
Response elements?
We love being curious and when we don't understand something, we have to explain it. This is why the forest of twisted trees intrigues so much. Because if the show is worth the detour, only one question comes to mind: “How is it possible?”.
A first hypothesis suggests that man has something in a direct way. These trees were allegedly planted in the 1930s and then curved artificially so that they could make parts for boats.
A second hypothesis evokes a parasite or a genetic mutation which would therefore have touched all the trees at the same time and would have forced them to twist.
A third theory evokes snow. So no, snow alone was for nothing. On the other hand, enormous amounts of snow swept by strong winds towards the north when the trees were pushing and would therefore have influenced their growth.
Finally, a final theory implies an abnormal gravitational force phenomenon at this specific location of Poland which would have forced young trees to twist and then find their way to the heights.
Until proof of the contrary, all these theories are equal since none could be confirmed or invalidated. In fact, and still today, the twisted trees of Krzywy las There are still an insoluble mystery.
