In every season, nature offers unique and enchanting moments. The beginning of autumn coincides with the mating season of the deer, when the woods fill with life and the silence is interrupted by the powerful calls of the males. During this phase, the male deer form a harem of females and protect it with great determination, making their roaring sound, a cry of love that can be heard from miles away.
The force of the roaring serves to signal to other males their presence and to establish dominance over the territory. These vocal ‘duels’ often avoid physical confrontations, but if the roaring is not enough, the deer perform a ritual parade. From a distance, they carefully study each other, challenging each other with imposing movements without touching. In the end, it is the mightiest deer, with the largest antlers, that prevails.
A truly special moment to experience the magic of autumn in the Valbelluna and the splendid Cansiglio Forest, one of the most beautiful in Europe. The excursions will take place at dusk, between day and night.
Cost: 25 euros for adults, free for children aged 6 to 15.
