A visitor narrates her experience.

It was still dark when we left the resort. We covered the first stretch of the road on the 4x4, and then began the walk along bushes and stones. Noise and strong colors frighten deer away. Covered with his green cape and speaking in whisper, our expert guide, Domenico Panciotto, showed us how to move and hide to avoid being seen. Silence is a must. In the midst of darkness, only sounds inhabit space. During the rut season, deer utter a hoarse cry to seduce females, and one can hear the clash of antlers of the stags fighting each other. It is a unique sensation, one you have never experienced before. The landscape encloses this feeling, while the expectation for dawn becomes unbearable. With the first rays of sun, deer run throughout the steppe. The Red deer is the most difficult to catch a glimpse of, but you can also watch the Chinese and the Dame deer.  All watchers have their own binoculars and, like in a movie, some of these images are captured and taken home to be told.
