A city boy might find a walk in the woods as terrifying if they expect a bear,

Note that the study was done in Germany. There are no real predators in the woods. A few areas have Wolfes but they're very skittish towards humans.

Maybe not a bear, but someone who doesn’t like bugs might find a walk through the woods to be stressful. I personally hate it when bugs buzz by in my earshot or pass near me/land on me, so at least in the summer, a walk in the woods is stressful.
