Hoia-Baciu Forest

Hoia-Baciu Forest

Hoia Baciu Forest is close to Cluj-Napoca: it covers an area of 250 hectares and it is often nicknamed “The Bermuda Triangle”, because of a number of strange events and spottings.
In fact, this thick forest became of particular interest in the 60’s when the biologist Alexander Sift took a few pictures of a U.F.O. hovering in the sky.
In 1968, also a military technician, Emil Barnea, took a photo of a flying saucer above the forest.
Since 1970, the spottings have intensified, including the appearance of mysterious lights of some sort.
On top of that, rumour has it that some of the people who have been into the forest, no longer remember the time they spent inside.

Hier the map to Hoia Baciu Forest.

The attention was drawn by a clearing where vegetation is absent. It’s an almost perfect circle: the analysis of soil samples does not give any evidence in favour of the absence of vegetation. To get there, park as close as possible to the ‘Poiana Rotunda’ and then continue on foot following GoogleMaps.

Moreover, the trees there have quite bizarre shapes: they grow unnaturally contorted.
If you are brave enough, then visit the Hoia-Baciu Forest and discover it in person!
