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 Crvenoglavi djetlić and Siva žuna for example. Besides other woodpecker species you can find Golub Dupljaš, Kobac, Šumska sova and Batokljun in this area.
