The golden tips for spotting game:

  • Color: pay attention to different colors, despite the fact that most animals have a camouflage color.
  • Movement: movement is also often a sign that you have a wild animal in your sights.
  • Shape: do you see a crazy shape? Then it can just be a deer or another wild animal.
  • Sound: Be quiet and pay attention to the sounds in your environment, such as rustling leaves.

Warming up in the sauna

A day at the sauna is simply lovely, especially in winter. As well as being very relaxing, a visit to the sauna can also help boost your immune system. And if it’s snowed? Then it’s even more enjoyable and special to cool off outside in the snow! Some of our holiday cottages feature private wellness facilities, such as a jacuzzi, sauna or hot tub.
