Greece’s Black Forest is located near the village of Orma, in Pella. Thanks to limited human intervention, it is considered a particularly aged beech forest, which has grown up naturally, passing through all forest-aging phases.

The beech trees are so dense and impenetrable, that sun rays barely reach the ground, thus creating the impression of a black forest. Many species of protected fauna find refuge in its wild beauty. Visitors can tour the forest, through its vertical gradients in water and waterfalls.

Legend has it, that the army of Alexander the Great used the Black Forest’s lumber to build their famously known six meter long lances, called sarissa.
