The animals

Wildlife

The ground supports a wide range of species, from red-listed big game to small game on the open plateau.

  • Brown bear

    Brown bear

    Ursus arctos

    The largest animal on our ground, and the one that asks most of a hunter. Bears here range widely across the forested slopes and are approached only with a guide who knows their movements.

    Habitat
    Dense beech and conifer forest, remote slopes
    When to see it
    Active from spring through autumn
    Suitable for photography

  • Wolf

    Wolf

    Canis lupus

    The animal on our emblem. Wolves work these mountains in packs and are rarely seen by chance — most encounters come at dusk or in snow, after long, patient waiting.

    Habitat
    Forest edge, high pasture, open karst in winter
    When to see it
    Most often encountered in late autumn and winter

  • Roe deer

    Roe deer

    Capreolus capreolus

    The most numerous game on our ground and the species most guests come for. The bucks here carry good heads, helped by the mineral-rich karst grazing.

    Habitat
    Meadow, forest edge, open karst plateau
    When to see it
    Seen year-round; bucks most visible in spring and summer

  • Capercaillie

    Capercaillie

    Tetrao urogallus

    A bird of the old conifer forest, and the most demanding quarry we have. Reaching a lek means being in the forest well before first light, in silence.

    Habitat
    Old spruce and fir stands with clearings and bilberry
    When to see it
    Displays at dawn in spring

    Wild boar

    Sus scrofa

    Hunted here mainly on driven hunts with hounds through the winter — a social day in the field, and the one our members look forward to most.

    Habitat
    Thickets, forest, field margins and wallows
    When to see it
    Driven hunts in the winter months

    Red fox

    Vulpes vulpes

    Present across the whole ground, from the forest to the edges of the villages. Often taken alongside other small game in winter.

    Habitat
    Everywhere — forest, pasture, village edges
    When to see it
    Most active on winter nights
