Description

Central Europe was once covered by beech forests, but they have become rare. Here near Zusmarshausen, the forest still provides shelter for many animal species that depend on this habitat, like the tammitikka and harmaapäätikka for example. Besides other woodpecker species you can find uuttukyyhky, varpushaukka, lehtopöllö and nokkavarpunen in this area.
