Trivia: The Brothers Grimm set many of their dark tales in what haunted forest?
Dragon’s Blood Forest, Yemen
Dancing Forest, Russia
Wistman’s Woods, England
The Black Forest, Germany
The correct answer is The Black Forest, Germany
So why is this answer correct? : This German forest is heavily covered in sunlight-blocking fir trees, earning its ominous name. Haunted folklore has been passed down in this region for centuries. The area is also dotted with castles and villages, creating a fairy tale-like atmosphere that inspired the Brothers Grimm to put to paper “Hansel and Gretel,” “Rapunzel,” and “Sleeping Beauty” — all of which were much darker before their family-friendly adaptations.
