Most Beautiful Forests around the World

Best Destinations - Amanda - September 13, 2015

People have traveled to check forests for many years. Whereas leaves changing colours would possibly fascinate some, others can realize that bamboo and rainforests attract their attention. There’s most beauty within the world and far of it’s found below the shaded boughs of a tree. Have you ever been to one of those breathtakingly lovely forests?

The Black Forest, Germany

You’ve most likely eaten Black Forest cake before, however did you recognize it’s an actual forest in southwest Germany? Additionally referred to as Schwarzwald, the Schwarzwald was named by Romans who found the trees were therefore thick that they blocked out about the foremost stubborn rays of sunlight. The Rhine Valley runs on the west and therefore the south edges of Schwarzwald, marking the borders rather undoubtedly.

Tongass National Forest, the United States

Alaska is home to more than one of the beautiful woods on this list. The Tongasscovers 17 million acres, rendering it the largest national forest in the United States. More than one Native Alaskan tribe lives in the trees that form the Tongass. In fact, more than 75,000 people depend on it to make a living.

The Inland Rainforest, Canada

The vast majority of this rainforest, located in central British Columbia, is made up of Western Red Cedar. It is one of the rare inland rainforests. The nearest coastal rainforest is almost 1,000 km to the west. Large sections of trees have never been touched and several trees are well over 1,000 years of age.

Sherwood Forest, England

Best known for hiding Robin Hood and his Merry Men, Sherwood is a very popular tourist attraction. Thanks to the folk tale of Robin Hood, half a million people show up to see the trees in person every year. It’s a relatively small forest, covering just over 1.5 square miles. At one point, there were more trees, back when the forest was used as a hunting ground for royals.

Sagano Bamboo Forest, Japan

Bamboo is such a beautiful plant; it has entire gardens dedicated to it. In the Arashiyama district of Japan, an entire bamboo forest has been planted. More than a dozen varieties of bamboo thrive in this unique forest found west of Kyoto. Don’t think this is a little grove, however. Some of the bamboo plants tower over visitors by up to 100 feet.

About Me

Hey! It’s Amanda from Turn of the World. I started my blog to share some more personal travel tips with the world! I grew up in New Jersey and always though that there was more to life than my home town. When I turned 22 I decided it was time to explore and saved all my pennies to travel the world for a year. That was 2 years ago and I haven’t stopped since. I find ways to work while I travel and make some money writing online to enable my travel-bug.
