    unbelievable experience

    Jennifer_H, Jun 2023
    Wir waren im grossen neu gebauten Bear Watching House. Von 17:oo-07:ooUhr. Ein Guide hat uns zuerst die wichtigstens Regeln erklärt, dann hat er uns die 500Meter zum Beobachtungshaus gebracht. Je nach Buchung kann man auch ein "hide" haben. Auf gemütlichen Bürostühlen sassen wir hinter den Fenstern und haben die Gegend beobachtet. Im Haus war sehr kalt, also warme kleider einpacken (wir waren im Juni). Haben eine Rucksack mit Sandwiches, Riegel, Joghurt und heissem Wasser und Kaffeepulver bekommen. Es hat ein Bad mit WC und Lavabo. Die Betten sind in Ordnung. Wir hatten echt Glück. Wir haben diverse Tiere gesehen und den Bären mehrfach von weitem, zweimal hat er die versteckte Nahrung direkt vor dem Bear Watching House geplündert. War ein unglaubliches Erlebnis. Aber man braucht Geduld und langes Wach-Sein lohnt sich.
