Il bramito dei cervi nelle Dolomiti Bellunesi
We recommend wearing warm, comfortable, sporty layered clothing. On your feet, technical socks made of wool or thick cotton (NO short socks), hiking boots or shoes with a rugged sole suitable for moving on uneven terrain (NO sneakers with smooth soles). Windbreaker, poncho or k-way, fleece or sweater, umbrella, hat or bandana. In case of the presence of children, always bring a few spare garments. For wildlife excursions, avoid bright colors and prefer black, gray, brown, or green.
It’s the month of deer love, in which the males make their love song heard loudly.
At any time of the year, nature can gift something magical and exciting.
The beginning of autumn corresponds to the season of the deer mating: the woods come alive, and the silence is broken by their roaring. Around the middle of autumn, in fact, male deer create a harem made up of many females, and they defend this harem with all their strength and voice.
To let other males know that this is their territory, the deer emit a characteristic sound, the roar, a poignant call of love, audible even kilometers away. Based on vocal power, real challenges are created.
In many cases, the confrontation remains at the “vocal” level, but if the power of the roars of the two deer is not enough to establish supremacy, it leads to a showdown in the form of a display: the two deer study each other from a distance, perform challenge movements without touching each other, and showcase themselves. The one with a more imposing physique and larger antlers wins.
A truly special month to experience in Valbelluna and in one of the most beautiful forests in Europe, the Cansiglio Forest.
The excursions will take place in the afternoon evening, between light and dark.
The cost: 25 euros for adults – free for minors between 6 and 15 years old
