The 'Wild Taiga' region invites all nature enthusiasts and photographers to the evergreen taiga forests to look for the European elks (Alces alces). The best season for watching mooses is from May to around mid-August. September is great too, with the stunning colours of 'ruska' in nature. You can take the guided safari either at dawn or at dusk to meet this impressive mammal. Hearing the sound of them at dusk creates a truly special atmosphere. The safari lasts for 2-3h.
