Leaning Trees of Poland


Nowe Czamowo, a small town in western Poland, is home to approximately 400 pine trees that have grown with a 90 degree bend at the base of their trunks. Surrounded by normal, straight pine trees, this group of trees is now known as the "Crooked Forest". 

The trees were apparently planted around 1930, and grew normally for 10ish years before something caused them to "mysteriously" bend north. It certainly seems like human intervention had a role in this, but why all the effort?
