Introduction to brown bears and their natural habitat

Observe Slovenian wild brown bear in his environment

Experience bear watching from a safe lookout

Hosted by a wildlife expert

Experience the thrill of bear-watching in the pristine natural forests of Slovenia. Follow a wildlife expert deep into the forest, where you will meet Slovenia’s native brown bear through the wide windows of a safe wooden lookout – perfect for this unforgettable experience! In the wild, bears will very rarely approach humans. If they smell you, they will quickly go in the other direction – and you will never see them. That is why our lookout is smell-isolated, allowing bears to come into close viewing range. In addition to the mighty bear, you may often be able to see wild foxes, martens, deer, and badgers. Wolves were present twice during the bear-watching this season.

As you learn all about these magnificent creatures and the woods in which they live, you will also be contributing to a good cause, as some of your fees go directly toward the preservation of local wildlife.

In recent years we had a very high likelihood of seeing a Slovenian wild bear.

In our hides, we can welcome 4 to 6 guests with our guide.

Before we drove to the hide, we had an interesting presentation on the local bears and other wildlife. They made sure that everyone had silent, no flash cameras, which we were grateful for (hides sometimes have to be shared in the high season). We were then led to the hide by our very experienced and competent guide. At first we only saw foxes (though it was also nice to see their natural behaviours), but our patience was rewarded. We saw 4 juvenile bears in total, which was an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend bringing a good quality pair of binoculars, as you can see quite far from the hide. We had to leave whilst the bears were still out as it was getting dark, but our guide made sure this was done in a calm and safe manner. Definitely recommend!

8 Bären in 2 Stunden. Ein unbeschreibliches Erlebnis. Einführung im Info Center sehr informativ, unser Guide sprach leider kein Englisch, daher der Ansitz sehr kommunikationsarm.

We went into the forest with a guide, and waited in a hut for two hours. It was quiet, and you could only listen to the woods and observe the animals. After an hour, two little foxes were playing in front of us. And after some time, a beautiful bear came to eat. It was a truly wonderful experience, that felt like a meditation. I totally recommend this trip.

A very well informed and eco friendly excursion. We were enthusiastically met at the meeting point where we learned about the bears and how to behave during our adventure. We drove into the woods and walked for about 10 minutes with our super calm guide to the hide where there was a mumma bear with her two cubs already! In total we saw 7 bears, 1 fox and a few eagles. It was genuinely fantastic. Our guide then led us back to our cars before it got too dark (you are definitely in bear country!!) He was super informative and passionate about bears and knew the individual bears that we saw.
