Description

The walk starts at the pond of Hilmteich with almost always Stokkand. From the pond you walk up to the beech forest where you can encounter Svartspett, Flaggspett, Spettmeis, Trekryper, Halsbåndfluesnapper and different species of finches and tits. This walk is really interesting and easy for starting bird watchers (and their kids!).
