I'm living close to Zagreb mountain called Sljeme (actualy that is the name of mountain top (meaning "Top of the mountain"). Official mountain name is Medvednica (or "Place where bears live") , but nobody is using that name in everyday speech.
So whenever weather is fine, I go to one of the locations near my house and spend late afternoons listening and trying to make contact.
