The compass is just a useless toy here: due to a number of geomagnetic anomalies, its arrow spins from side to side, not giving the slightest idea of the cardinal points.
Perhaps that is why the Aokigahara forest is the most popular place in Japan to settle accounts with life. It is worth moving away from the path for a couple of dozen steps and you can never go back.

Living bridges in India

Dancing forest in Russia
The Curonian Spit Park, located in the Kaliningrad region, also has a forest that is interesting for both tourists and scientists.
Locals call it "dancing" or "drunk" - after all, the tree trunks here bend, grow at an angle, or even fold into loops, contrary to all the laws of nature. It would seem that the trees simply could not help but break, having undergone such a curvature, however, the forest is quite healthy and nothing but oddly shaped trunks, no different from others. It is also interesting that scientists have not yet determined why, reaching a certain height, a tree begins to grow anywhere, but not up.
