Other information
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 taking amazing photos!
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 towards the preservation of local wildlife.
In recent years we had a 96% likelihood of seeing a Slovenian wild bear. In case that bear does not appear on the day of your experience, we offer a 50% discount if you rebook this experience.
In our hides we can welcome 4 to 6 guests with our guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bears hibernate during winter, so our Bear Watching expeditions into the wilderness are organized from May to October.
Extremely safe. The only danger that exists is falling madly in love with the forest and animals that live there. A side-effect of Bear Watching can also be the strong desire to do it again.
Absolutely not. Bear watching takes place in a specially designed, smell-isolated outpost. The animals will never know you were there.
Bears prefer cooler temperatures, so rain is not a problem for them. However, thunderstorms can scare animals.
Yes. Last year bears were active in the first half of October. Their activity decreased in the second half of the month and that is the reason why we do not organize tours in the second half of October.
The activity is suitable for children 12+ years of age. For younger children, we can organize private experience with their parents and guide. Please contact us directly.
