Bulgaria - Lars Mittank, 28, German tourist, Varna airport, 8 July 2014

[worldwatcher]

Looking at a picture on the Varna Airport’s website, I would describe it as surrounded by a forest or at least surrounded by woods or many trees.
That’s just my interpretation of what I am seeing.

So you're seeing this I assume (picture from the official website linked above)

I added red and pink lines.
It's just an angle and it shows North-West part of Varna.
Woods are bit over a mile from the airport. Tree lines closer to the airport are nothing more than tree lines. Not woods. Multi-story residential buildings all around these trees.

Orange arrow aims at (more or less) what that picture shows in the backround.
Blue arrow aims at (more or less) the direction where Lars was heading when he was last seen.
And that last sighting was close to where blue and yellow meet. No woods there. Some trees and bushes.
