The grove has about 100 pine trees planted around 1930, then the grove was located within the German province of Pomerania. Each pine tree has a unique unique shape - it bends sharply immediately upon leaving the earth at 90 degrees to the north, and then moves vertically back after a small sigma-shaped curvature at a level of 1-3 meters. Most likely, the shape of these trees was subjected to anthropogenic influence, however, neither the purpose nor the method are known; perhaps the shape is given by tension, as is done in the bonsai technique. It is assumed that such deformation was created to simulate natural curved wood for further use in furniture or boat building [2] .
