Central slovakia  >  Slovakia

Beautiful yet challenging hike (ladders involved!), near the top you will be able to see White-backed Woodpecker and Eurasian Three-toed Woodpecker.

Description

This hike is a combination of enjoying the beauty of Slovakia while also having a good chance of some typical central-European forest birds! While species such as Eurasian Bullfinch, Common Crossbill, Crested Tit are easy to see, with a little luck (especially on the higher elevations) specialties such as White-backed Woodpecker and Eurasian Three-toed Woodpecker reside. Perhaps through the trees you spot a Lesser Spotted Eagle?
