Introduction
Mountains, lakes, forests and grasslands are all waiting to be explored. Admire the spectacular views, skim stones on the lake and look for birds in the trees. And, if you’re really keen, stay the night and go stargazing after dark.- Collect the flattest skimming stones and give it a try.
- Breathe the purest air and sing a bush walking song.
- Listen to the birdsong – how many different birds can you hear?
