22 Mysterious Forests I’d Love To Get Lost In

earth porm


Any large area covered with trees and undergrowth technically defines a forest. For such a bland definition, a forest holds so much more mystery and intrigue. For centuries, forests have captivated the human imagination. Just think about, there’s a forest in at least half of all fairy tales and horror stories.
I’d love to get lost in any of the forests on this list, although some are much creepier than others. Don’t mistake me for brave, I would at least like a tall black horse, (or a tall, handsome man ;)) to help me navigate these mysteriously creepy forests.

1. Otzarreta Forest, Basque Country, Spain

This well known forest is located in Gorbea Nature Park in Biscay, Basque, Spain.

2. Rila Mountains, Bulgaria

Located in southwestern Bulgaria, Rila is the highest mountain range in all of Bulgaria. The highest peak is Musala at over 9,000 feet tall.

3. The Moss Swamp In Romania

5. White Carpathians

6. Hallerbos, Belgium

7. Chinese Hemlock Trail, Tapingshan, Taiwan

The Chinese Hemlock Trail is a short path that travels uphill through an old, dense forest. It isn’t easy to reach the top of the seemingly endless steps, but doing so reaps great rewards. A large overlook platform at the top offers breathtaking views that stretch as far as Dabajian Mountain.

8. Czech Republic

9. Misty Forest

10. North Greenwich, London, England

Looks like the type of place you might run into Alice, the rabbit, and maybe even a Cheshire cat.

11. Somewhere Lovely In Italy

Monforte de Lemos is a lush and beautiful city located in Spain. The Cabe River travels through the city, and some of the most scenic spots can be found out in nature.

19. Ghost Tree Forest Mt. Seymour, British Columbia

When these trees become covered in snow they resemble giant ghosts, monsters and sometimes even prehistoric dinosaurs! In fact, they look more like characters from a Disney movie than snow-covered trees.

20. Glendalough, County Wicklow, Ireland

Old world history, natural beauty, and endless wildlife entertain all day in Glendalough.

21. Rain Forest, Lynn Canyon, British Columbia

Wanderers, dog walkers, photographers, travelers, and lost pedestrians all find themselves in a forest at some point or other. The next time you wander down a tree-littered path, I hope you see something as beautiful as any one of these mysterious forests around the world.

22. Kvacianska Dolina, Slovakia
