Route description

In Dokudovo, the forest opens onto feeding grounds where it pays to stop and watch. This was once a wetland; drainage changed the landscape, and the open ground now attracts wild hoofed animals. Walk quietly, scan the edges of the clearings and listen for birds rather than hurrying between stops. A bison encounter is a matter of luck, but watching wildlife in its ordinary surroundings gives the outing a distinctive purpose. This short version connects the forest entrance with the southern road near the Hermit Oak; arrange your return before setting out.
