Trekking

Nature lovers and birdwatchers can enjoy walking through this unique rural landscape, in which bears and wolfs still roam the forests, rare birds as the lesser spotted eagle, the corncrake, bee-eaters, hoopoes and the Ural owl can often be seen on our days out.

The ancient cart-tracks between villages are being marked and mapped so that visitors can move from one village to another on foot, horseback and mountain bicycle, as well as the traditional horse and cart, to establish a network of villages offering accommodation and food.

Your visit can be booked through Saschiz Tourist Information Centre.
