Description

The Boumort National Game Reserve, a protected area since 1991, is located on a site of more than 13,000 hectares in the western Catalan pre-Pyrenees. Boumort is the only area in Europe where the 4 vultures of Europe breed, (sup bielohlavý, sup tmavohnedý, zdochlinár biely, bradáň žltohlavý). In addition it is possible to see orol skalný, haja červená and near the refuge, it is also common to see stehlík citrónový, krivonos smrekový, ďateľ veľký etc... Note: From the fence where you enter the game reserve, to the refuge, the track is not in a very good condition and a 4x4 car is necessary to complete this route.
