Description

The environment and nature in Pas de la Griotte are wonderfully beautiful due to the combination of shrubs, rocks, deciduous trees and flowers. This attracts many songbirds and other birds. Nice birds that you can observe here include Bieter, Vinsanger, Kortklotrekryper and Sørnattergal. You will also find Gjøk, various types of gulls and birds of prey. The peace in the area is striking. The place is rarely visited and is located outside the inhabited area.
