They don't. They are riding from the battlefield where they have dealt with the traitor Macdonweald to their camp at Forres (that's actually the name of a place in Scotland 25 miles east of Inverness, not a misspelling of forest) where the king awaits them. They are accosted by three witches of whom Macbeth asks, "why upon this blasted heath you stop our way with such prophetic greeting." A heath is defined as an area of open uncultivated land, the very opposite of a forest.
