Unterwegs im Bärenland

Falk_K, Sep 2024
Das frühe aufstehen (3 Uhr morgens) hat sich gelohnt. Unter der fachkundigen Leitung von unserem Tourführer Erik konnten wir insgesamt fünf Bären bei ihrem Frühstück sichten. Braunbären in der Natur - ein tolles Erlebnis!

Thank u Falk for nice review:) Erik

Tolles Naturerlebnis

Florian_H, Jun 2024
Es war wirklich wundervoll. Der Wanderweg alleine war schon eine super schöne Strecke. Zudem nimmt sich Erik viel Zeit, einem die Lebensweise von Bären näher zu bringen. Das Beobachten der Bären in ihrem natürlichen Lebensraum ist eine absolut wundervolle Erfahrung. Wir haben insgesamt 5 verschiedene Bären gesehen. Es war es absolut Wert!

Sehr sympathischer und kompetenter Quide. Wunderschöne Wanderung durch die Natur der hohen Tatra. Leider wollten sich die Bären nicht viel zeigen, aber das lässt sich nicht planen und gehört zur natürlichen Wildlife Touren dazu was wir sehr unterstützen. Wir würden die Tour jedem Naturfreund weiterempfehlen.
