Description
Tulove Grede consists of high white peaks and rock formations that are very photogenic. The mountain peaks are famous because the white rocks were the setting for the Winnetou and Old Shatterhand movies. At the top there are some information boards with stills of the movies and photos of the main actors.
But this scenic location is also good for birdwatching. On the way up along the 6 km gravel road you can already make several stops, enjoy the views and have a chance to see birds like Western Rock Nuthatch, Subalpine Warbler, Sombre Tit and Short-toed Snake Eagle. On the top you will find a small plateau with rocky grasslands surrounded by white rounded rock peaks. This area is a good place to look for Black-eared Wheatear, Wood Lark and Blue Rock Thrush. In the air look for Yellow-billed Chough, Common Raven and Golden Eagle.
