About the event
† This excursion has been cancelled!
Red deer males let out their call, the bellowing, during the rut, and often literally compete for the females. In the dark and vast forest of the Veluwe, the participants in the exciting excursions look for bellowing red deer.
Be quick, because this excursion is very popular!
You walk to open ground where the rutting activity takes place. When you return, a delicious breakfast will be waiting for you in the Nature Theater.
Please note that the minimum age for children is 8 years.
The minimum age has the following reasons:
The excursion includes a long walk in the dark and it is important that you are completely still. If a (too young) child does not last, does not like it or is afraid of the dark, you cannot just go back. Then it is not fun for your child, not fun for you as a parent and also not fun for the rest of the group.
