Points of Interest

Stay on the path, respect private property and be nice, remember that locals take care for the nature you care about, and if you have any problems, they will be the first to help you. See the fauna from a distance, preferably with binoculars. If you walk in silence and talk quietly, it will be easier to see wildlife, especially birds, so do not disturb the place peace. Remember plants produce the oxygen you breathe, so do not harm them. Bring the trash with you and put it in a suitable place. Fire is a danger to all, so do not make fire, and if you can’t resist the temptation to smoke, extinguish the cigarette butt with water and don’t leave it on the ground. Take just pictures and good memories, so leave plants, rocks, mushrooms and other living creatures in place. Beware of cattle, though tame, does not like approaching especially to its offspring.
