Deep in the forests of Sweden lies a haunting graveyard where hundreds of classic cars have been left to rot among the trees.

The eerie Båstnäs Car Cemetery has become an unlikely attraction for photographers and urban explorers thanks to its rusting collection of abandoned motors slowly being reclaimed by nature.

Hidden close to the Norwegian border, the site is littered with decaying Volvos, Saabs and American cars dating back to the 1940s and 50s – many now covered in moss, swallowed by vegetation and sinking into the woodland floor.
