Interesting Engineering - 10

The Mystery of the Crooked Forest
Here’s what is known:

• Sometime in the early 1930s, someone planted about 400 trees near the town of Greifenhagen in what was then Germany.

• Something stunted the growth of the trees and caused them to grow horizontally—all facing due north—for some period of time.

• Somehow, around 1940, the trees curved back towards the sky and started growing back up.

The sometime, someone, something and somehow of those facts are all unknown.
