Flora and fauna of Connecticut
The mighty maple with its distinctive leaves is most common here, next to red spruce, red pine, eastern hemlock, black birch and tulip poplars. Yet it is not only the trees that provide the necessary atmosphere. What many people forget is that ivy in all species determines a large part of the color of the environment.
Animal life is as varied as there are tree species. The area is home to bears, beavers, squirrels, moose, skunks, wolves, raccoons, coyotes, and red foxes. Whales and seals can also be seen off the coast.

Indian Summer in Connecticut
Autumn in New England is a true spectacle. Lower temperatures and shorter days mean that the stately trees in this region shed their billions of leaves.
But not before the forests give away a spectacular color show, from juicy green to the most dazzling variations of yellow, brown, red and orange. There are several scenic routes through Connecticut, of which Route 49 and State Scenic Highway 169 deserve special mention.
Colonial Connecticut
New England is nationally known for its rich colonial history, in the form of many historic monuments and attractions. Connecticut also exudes the atmosphere of the eighteenth century with appropriate pride. Anyone who likes ostentatious costumes, architecture and staged battles will feel at home here.
Historic Route 1 door Connecticut
One of the oldest roads in America – Historic Route 1 – runs for a large part through Connecticut. With towns and villages such as Stamford, Bridgeport, Mystic – from the film of the same name with Julia Roberts – and New Haven along the way, in combination with the rugged coastline and the splashing seawater, this is a ride like no other.
