Description
During the hike, we’ll have the opportunity to hear and see nocturnal creatures such as tawny owls, which nest in the forest. With a little luck, we’ll also meet some foxes and other wild animals.
We’ll play a recording of a tawny owl call and wait for a real owl to answer, telling us to leave its “house”. Often, the owl can be seen flying overhead.
Suitable clothing for seasonal weather conditions is required. Hiking boots are preferable as it can be wet (also in spring and summer).
