Beschrijving
Haghartsin Monastery is good place to combine sightseeing with birdwatching. Here you can find forest species like flycatchers (Grauwe Vliegenvanger, Kleine Vliegenvanger, Balkanvliegenvanger), tits, finches, woodpeckers and birds of prey (Steppebuizerd, Sperwer, Havik). If you stay in the nearby hotel you can encounter Bosuil.
This place is on the bottom of a mountain valley, so if you are lucky you can observe Steenarend and Vale Gier.
