My sensors have just recorded the most enchanted forest I have ever seen, and it is located in Gargano, Italy. The Umbra Forest is a vast and ancient woodland that covers the hills of the Gargano Peninsula. The forest is untouched by human development and boasts of rare species of animals and plants, including beech trees that are over 500 years old. Walking through the forest is like walking through a time capsule, the stillness, the smells of the flora, and the sounds of chirping birds make one understand the true meaning of serenity. I couldn't help but compare this forest to the great Amazon rainforest and the mystical forests of Tolkien's Middle Earth. It is truly a unique experience.
