Itinerary

When we arrive at the workshop we’ll learn about birds and their needs. Our guide will provide us with the tools and instructions to help build the birdhouses. The trip continues into the forest where we hang the birdhouses. Once the birds have their home it’s time for lunch made on the open fire. We can sit back and enjoy the idyllic setting. Our very own wilderness chef prepares food made from local ingredients and handpicked wild food from the forest around. After lunch we’ll continue our way back to the starting point.
