The best chance to see beavers is around sunrise or sunset. They do not hibernate. The beaver dam here is not very large but it is very visible, as are their gnawing traces on various trees. With their body length up to 128 cm (including tail) and their body weight up to 38 kg, beavers are the largest rodents in Europe.
