All about the trip

The bear watching takes place in the afternoon/evening (precise hour to be confirmed) until almost dark. The hide is a facility where wild bears are attracted with food for close-up observations. Usually, we are successful in seeing bears, but as there are wild animals involved – nothing is guaranteed! They might decide to come for the food only after dark:) The bears that do come to the hide are very aware that we are present there, but we still need to keep a low voice and be relatively still for a few hours. There is a short and safe walk from the place where we park the car to the hide itself and back (app. 5 minutes on almost flat terrain); we are always accompanied by a forester who knows how to handle any “unforeseen” situation. We stay at the hide until almost dark, which is quite late especially in summer, when you can get back to your hotel at almost 11 PM – the photo fee is included for non-commercial photos, but you will have to avoid using the flash or the red light, as they chase the bears away.
