St. Veiter wildlife trail

Open

The needs and habits of the local game are described on information boards. With a little luck you can see deer in meadows and fields.

They emerge early in the morning or at dusk. Fawns are so well camouflaged by their fur pattern that they are almost invisible in the tall grass. In case of danger, they remain motionless so as not to be discovered.
