Birdwatching

Birds within reach from the capital – if being in Bratislava, having a few hours of free time and want to see something interesting.

This trip will bring us through many different biotopes, including the lowland areas around lake Neusiedler See, Pannonian and Zahorie, the Morava river basin, as well as the distinctive northern region of Orava and the Little Carpathians mountain range.

Slovakia is a little country, but you can spot here all European species of woodpeckers or various owl species such as Ural, Tengmalm’s or Pygmy Owl.

It is the most important breeding and migrating site for waterbirds in Slovakia. Colonies of herons, beautiful oxbow lakes, vineyards, castle ruins, all this can be found here.

Dynamic Morava River with its oxbow lakes, wet meadows and well preserved floodplain forests on one side. Dry oak and pine forests on sand on the other. Explore the land of contrasts.
