This route gives good opportunities for birders to drive through the inner parts of the mountain range and observe many species from the car. Many alpine species such as Kaspisch Berghoen, Steenheggenmus, Alpenheggenmus, Sneeuwvink, Rode Bergvink and Roodvoorhoofdkanarie are potential species that you can observe on this route.
