Favourite Sentence for the Week

There's something about web pages that are written in English, but quite obviously not by native English speakers. They have such a unique turn of phrase - it's almost like unintentional poetry.

Take this gem, for example:

"Right moving in nature has been inherent of people already from the primeval times."

It comes from the State Portal for the Estonian government, on a page about hiking.

Now, I'm working on the assumption that the sentence actually means something along the lines of "moving about in nature has been a natural drive in people since primeval times", but doesn't their version sound so much more interesting?
