Forests hide a lot of secrets and curious things inside them. Let’s agree, seeing a sculpture on a town square is nothing fancy, but if it appears on a shady forest glade it makes a completely different impression and surprises you as well. It immediately becomes somehow enigmatic and mysterious. We’ve collected for you examples of situations when people had suddenly found something unexpected deep in the woods.
