Description
Beautiful paths along a variety of habitats for birds (tall trees, bushes, ponds, and streams). The forest is big enough that you can find most of the common species you'd expect outside of the city, from the Rødhals to the Grønspætte. Be on the lookout for other birds like Sortspætte, Spætmejse, Sortmejse, Sumpmejse, Rødtoppet Fuglekonge, Broget fluesnapper, and Lille Lappedykker.
