Hiking
An ideal pond dries up every three to five years. This prevents the fish that eat salamanders and frog eggs from surviving.
This pond is primarily home to the fire salamander. This is a rare and protected species found in the Kravaal Forest. Capturing, moving, or transporting them is prohibited. They are recognizable by their striking black and yellow spot pattern, but are rarely seen. They live on land and spend most of their time under rotting logs or piles of branches. At night, they are active and hunt.
