When going to the forest for a picnic, hiking or picking mushrooms, many choose beautiful places, seemingly created by nature itself especially for recreation. A deciduous grove can be attributed to such familiar sight miracles.
A grove is also a forest

The places of the sanctuaries were groves where the action took place, and some trees were considered sacred and possessing special powers.
