Salamander watching in Mittlandet

During spring, newts gather in forest ponds to prepare for their breeding season. A guided walk through the Mittlandet forest offers a unique opportunity to observe these fascinating creatures up close. With an experienced nature guide, it becomes easier to spot the animals and understand their behavior. During the day, explore the forest, look for animal tracks, and see if the newts have awakened from their winter rest.

For those seeking a different experience, an evening walk with a headlamp provides a chance to see the forest in a whole new way. The sounds of the night become more intense, and the distant hoots of owls might be heard. With a bit of luck, newts can be spotted on their journey to the water. After the walk, enjoy a cozy moment by the fire with a warm drink and a freshly made waffle.
