Sorry Son. Never seen "Ancient Forest" anywhere in Europe. Exactly everything was burned and destroyed in WII.
I have seen remains of an Ancient Forest however. I remember some 3 meter wide tree stumps in 1950s. They were things of wonder, because you could see such giant trees only in american movies.
- pmontra 4y ago> Exactly everything was burned and destroyed in WII. This is an exaggeration. Just walk around and check the age of buildings in city centers. We did have Dresden but we also have Paris and London. Their big towers survived the war. The royal palaces more than that. About trees and forests, there are plenty of wilderness where almost nobody lives and nobody chopped wood for staying warm in winter. Example, those areas in Romania or most of the Alps. It was different inside cities. Even if not every city was bombed to dust, people was really chopping trees. My father told me that it was forbidden (Milan, Italy) but winter is cold.
