Description
The Petrified Forest is known for its large, some still standing, fossilized tree trunks. Although the opening hours can be somewhat vague, the road towards the park itself is already worth the drive. If you can enter the park (pay your ticket at the entrance), you can walk the park on multiple tracks that lead you next to many fossilized tree trunks. The area is home to several typical breeding species, like sinirastas, kallionakkeli and ruostekurkkusirkku. Several bushes and scattered trees are perfect for migrants, like chats, shrikes and flycatchers. Raptors can be seen overhead.
