Natural History Tours
Welcome to our ecological programme !
‘Highly recommended! Being on the water for those few hours felt like holiday – no phone, no distractions, just beautiful scenes and a sense of freedom. You get close to cormorants, nesting herons, all types of geese and the banks draped with graceful, beautiful willows that conceal the land that you can imagine you are far from the city.’
