I know of some remote¹ forest in Germany that used to be a training area. It is so bullet- and bomb-riddled that they just decided clearing it wasn't worth it, put a fence around it and declared it off-limits.

¹ in Germany, "remote" means something like "2km from the next settlement".



Similar in France from WW1: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone_rouge


Same in some parts of France, from WW-I bombs that are still there.


Not just bombs but also lots of chemical warfare pollution and buried canisters.
