On Saturdays from the 2nd of February until the 9th of March 2019, 11 a.m.: Red deer in winter – a hike from the national park information point "Hintersee" on wintry trails to the game feeding in the valley Klausbachtal.

From late autumn on red deer cannot find food on the snow-covered mountains any more and therefore moves down the valley. On this hike you will learn a lot about the way of life of red deer and, with a bit of luck, you will have the possibility to watch these usually very shy animals.

The hike takes around 3 hours. Sturdy shoes, warm and weatherproof clothing and average physical fitness are required. Meeting point is the national park information point "Hintersee" ("Nationalpark-Infostelle Hintersee"), Hirschbichlstraße 26, Ramsau.
