Every year in May/June an incredible natural spectacle takes place here. The great frog migration brings countless males with their females on their backs to the pond on this highland to spawn in what is probably the toughest fight in a frog's life.
Many die on the way from exhaustion, freezing or being killed by birds of prey.
But those who make it to the pond ensure the survival of the breed. And the cycle is complete when the offspring return to the same pond to spawn...

This little village is located at about 1700 m above sea level and probably wakes up in winter when the ski tourism brings visitors.
