No, it was all paved over and destroyed centuries ago.

63% of my country's surface area is wooded. They're not primal forests though, only a couple hundred acres of ice age forests escaped the early modern era goatocaust. After they banned goat and sheep rearing in the 1890s, a massive regrowth began.

yes, especially in Bosnia and the general Balkan region
>>57535878
Do people actually live in the woods there?
We're about 50 percent forest but our population is relatively spread out. Only in one or two places are you really isolated.
>>57533986
Below France lies a Peninsula. You must cross dangerous mountains and face terrible apemen along with terrible perils. There you will find a world lost in time, where cavemen still roam along with mamoths and neanderthals.

But your mountain valleys don't have qt little chalets in them
>>57536232
Head a few hours east and you have the Appalachians. Go west until you hit the front range and all it is is forested alpine mountain valleys all the way to the west coast with some deserts in between. Rainforest mountains line almost the entire west coast. Hell... I'm pretty sure you have some forested hilly areas in southern Ohio. What are you 18?
>>57535277
Mountains are nice but deserts and canyons are cool too. Luckily we have all three. We would also have tropical areas in south FL but those mostly got turned into retirement properties.
>>57535869
This. The area between the Rockies and Appalachians is pretty boring, save for some pockets around the Great Lakes.
>>57536444
I'm ok with that. I prefer my nature primitive and untouched. And a lot of them do actually, just go to any ski area in the rockies.
>>57536449

Well, if by "nature" you mean "driving for 500km in straight line without seeing a single house", then no. You'll find nature, but several thousand years of people living there made it sure that you'll find villages scattered everywhere.
But some countries are worse than the others. You'll find some actual large chunks of nature in southern France or Spain, but they're pretty much non-existent in Germany, Belgium, England... And Netherland is pretty much a big concrete flatland.
>>57538905
I've always been fascinated by those kind of towns. Where do you shop for groceries in that picture ? Where do you get shitfaced ? How do you find girls ? Doesn't it get annoying to recognize every single face and be unable to do anything without the whole town knowing ? Do you even need police patrols or police at all ?

Spend my summers in a town like this. Not as mountainous, but just as small.
>Where do you shop for groceries in that picture?
Off-camera this town definitely has a small mom-and-pop grocer, likely with a gas station and butcher shop built in.
>Where do you get shitfaced?
Buy beer from said grocer and drink with your buddies. There might be a local dive bar or restaurant with a bar, but if the town is small enough, there might not be enough people to support one.
> How do you find girls?
See that large brick building toward the back? I'm willing to bet that's the local school that hosts kindergarten to 12th grade. Maybe kindergarten to 8th grade with several nearby towns sending their kids to one high school. Entire grades can be made up of a single class of about a dozen kids or fewer. You either try to hook up with one of the few girls in your age range that you've likely known since kindergarten or try your luck with an out-of-town girl at the county high school. With luck, you'll at least be going to college or a technical/agricultural school out of town.
>Doesn't it get annoying to recognize every single face and be unable to do anything without the whole town knowing?
I could imagine, yes. Small town people love to gossip.
>Do you even need police patrols or police at all ?
Not really. There is likely one small police department that oversees the whole county. Fortunately, not a lot of crime in these small towns. One of the perks of everybody knowing everybody. Commit a crime, everybody's going to know.
>>57539314
>Do you even need police patrols or police at all ?
Police in small place like that can be volunteer, aka part time/when needed
