Krzywy Las: a natural monument with an unusual growth pattern
Krzywy Las is an extraordinary natural monument in Nowe Czarnowo. The pine forest consists of around 100 trees with arch-shaped, curved trunks and covers approximately 0.5 hectares. The striking shape of the pines defines the character of this natural site. Signposting from the road in Nowe Czarnowo leads to Krzywy Las.
An educational outdoor game, the quest in Krzywy Las, lets visitors explore the natural monument on an interactive walk. This provides a second, playful way to discover the site in addition to the signposting.
