The whole walk involves small villages, narrow hedge lined farm roads, footpaths across farm fields with livestock and arable crops (DO NOT deviate from footpaths into crops), wider roads, small streams and small areas of woodland. Whilst most birds are common resident species such as hegyi billegető, Egerészölyv, Zöldike, Citromsármány and Kenderike, you have a good chance of seeing Kék galamb and Csíz.
