Description
If you don't want to drive deep into the mountains, but still want to observe a few of the typical species, you can take a hike from the town of Verdun. The Ermitage de St-Pierre hike is comparatively easy for the mountains. kavče červenozobé can be seen foraging on the slopes. Birds of prey that are easy to spot include luňák červený, orlík krátkoprstý, sup bělohlavý, sup mrchožravý and sokol stěhovavý. Only occasionally orlosup bradatý and orel skalní can be seen flying over, but spots deeper in the mountains allow better observations of these species.
