DESCRIPTION

Have you never heard of the The Great Snipe? Then you are in good company. It is a red-listed hidden species and plays, just like the more well-known Capercaillie, Blackcock and Ruff. As big as a normal hamburger and with a sound more reminiscent of a high school penguin hall, it is one of nature’s most dramatic animals. The male does everything to impress the females and plays intensely during the darkest hours of the day.

During this evening,The Great Snipe is the star for an evening. We hike 4 kilometers to a nice vantage point and when dusk descends we sit quietly and listen for the arrival of the Snipe. With binoculars, you can borrow from me, we spy in the bright summer night. If we are lucky, we manage to see the energetic, playful and bouncing bird. In addition to nature’s strangest experience, you get to meet other curious people, try local delicacies and cozy up by a lovely fire.
