Best forest parks to visit worldwide

Forest parks are the quiet ones: old-growth beech and spruce in central Europe, the taiga and lakes of Finland, the giant sequoias and coast redwoods of California, the cloud and monsoon forests of Vietnam and Thailand. There is rarely one sight to tick off. The visit is a walk, a hut or a campsite, and in Bialowieza a guided entry to the strict reserve where the bison live.
