BROWN BEAR SLOVAKIA
The Brown Bear ( Ursus arctos) is the main species you will observe on our bear watching tours in Slovakia. The brown bear Slovakia population lives freely in the wild mountains of the Carpathians, making this one of the best places in Europe to see bears in their natural habitat. Our tours take place in prime bear territory in the High Tatras, where brown bears move through remote valleys, forests, and mountain slopes. This is real wilderness—no fences, no feeding, and no captivity. Our sometimes 4-5 times per week presence in the valleys enables us to know the bear patterns and spot their movement in remote valleys and slopes. This natural habitat is the reason why brown bear Slovakia sightings are highly successful with experienced local guides.

Bear watching Slovakia offers unique experience of observing brown bears in the valleys of High Tatras in Slovakia with expert led bear guide with hundreds of bear encounters.
Itinerary
Meeting with the local bear expert at about 13:00 at the Podbanske in Tatras at a parking place and taking over the powerful binoculars.
2. Next is the journey to one of the three valleys where there is the greatest possibility of capturing and observing brown bears. During the tour, we will show the Bear trees and, bear holes in the slopes and we will wait with binoculars at the spotting positions from where we usually watch them. As soon as we spot a single bear, or a bear with cubs, we stop and observe the bears with powerful binoculars .
3. Before returning from bear watching tour, I will provide a training on how to behave in individual encounters with a bear based on my own experiences. I will also share my own stories from close encounters with bears and observations of bears chasing other animals in the wild.
