Birds of the rocky steppe

Cuckoos, thrushes and possibly even hoopoe or bee-eaters can be seen on bushes and trees. Falcons or larger birds of prey often glide in the thermals of the sunny limestone slopes and in the vertical rock walls. The descent is a bit steep in some places and requires some sure-footedness and solid footwear. This excursion only takes place in dry conditions.

The excursion starts at the "Guttet-Feschel, Wiler" bus stop and ends at the "Leuk, Rotafen" or "Leuk, Abzw. Erschmatt" bus stop. Please note that if you arrive by car, the group will not walk back to Wiler in Guttet-Feschel. We therefore recommend travelling by public transport.

The excursion is conducted in German and French.
