As for this car graveyard, the legend goes that the vehicles were left behind by American soldiers during World War II. After the war ended, they couldn’t be taken back home, so the cars were hidden deep in the forest in the hope that they could be reclaimed one day. But these cars have remained untouched for seventy years, never claimed, resulting in this eerie sight. However, locals dispute this story, believing these are merely scrapped vehicles from World War II.
