The Ems Cottage

Flora and Fauna

Take a drive alongside picturesque coastal landscapes, past numerous light houses and small fishing villages. Enjoy fresh lobster straight from the coastal waters. Cross crystal clear lakes and rivers by canoe and you will come across many salmon and trout. Go hiking in clean air through magnificent forests whose intensive bright colors will inspire you in the autumn. Take a sailing tour along the picturesque coast with thousands of bays and small islands. Watch the whales that play in the water and discover the unbelievably rich variety of species that inhabit the pristine environment of Nova Scotia.

Fish

When Canadians take a fishing trip it is not really about the fish. It is more about the outdoor experience, the fresh air and the relaxations of boating. The fish are only the extra bonus. This attitude enables the visitors to easily take part in the experience. An inexpensive fishing rod and a small selection of bait can be found in any sporting goods store. Then you only need a fishing licence in the same stores and at many gas stations. If you don't like to see the fish in the pan, you can practice "Catch and Release". If your catch is big enough you can take a picture before releasing it. That way the Canadian fish supply is secured and fishing is more of a sport than a competition. Canada is also the best choice for all fishermen who are serious about their sport. Pike, salmon, trout, and bass are found without having to look hard. The results are spectacular, especially in the remote lakes of the Northern country. In addition, there is deep-sea fishing in the Atlantic and many salmon streams on both coasts.

Whales

The ideal summer weather of Nova Scotia makes it the perfect place for whale watching. "Whale Watching" Hot Spots along the coast are Digby Neck and Cape Breton Island. Mostly you can see finback, humpback, shortfin pilot and minke whales.

Animals

Animal watching on land can also be rewarding: elks, black bears (no worries, in the history of Nova Scotia there has been not a single accident reported with black bears who mostly graze), beavers, otters, seals, bald eagles, humming birds, snow rabbits, lynxes, deer, stalks, porcupines, minks, pheasants, owls, and many more.
