Descrição
If you are in the general area and have the time, this is a nice spot to just sit and watch or take photos from the car or a hide. The scrub and forest patches on the hills are also waiting for you to take a walk. The central spot here is a small spring, where all birds from the dry surrounding hills and mountains come to drink. You can see some turkish highlights, like Rouxinol-de-garganta-branca, Asa-carmim and Milheirinha-de-testa-vermelha here, as well as numerous other species. There are usually lots of Sombria, Poupa and Pardal-francês. On the way up and in surrounding forests you can see / hear Felosa do Levante, Mountain Chiffchaff (Caucasian) and Toutinegra-oriental. Beware that this remote area is bear country. No kidding with them, keep your distance and DO NOT ENTER DENSE THICKETS OR FORESTS.
Detalhes
Acesso
This is a remote place. To get here, drive to Caglayan, pass the waterfall and continue upward to the tiny village Kalecik. Turn right (west) in the village on a bad track, or walk (approx. 1.5 hr). The track is difficult, high ground clearance is essential, 4WD is recommended and certainly required after rains.
