The Mighty Brown Bears of the Carpathians Saturday 8 June 2024 (6 Days) Lesley ..."one of the best tours I've ever been on " The Overview
Almost mystical for the locals, these mighty animals are the top of the fauna chain in the Carpathian Mountains. With their numbers increasing combined with the loss of habitat it has become a challenge for both humans and bears to live in the same areas. Embark on a journey to discover the subtleties of this situation and come face to face with the great brown bear.
Is a very well balanced trip offering lots of sightseeing, culture and history alongside the main focus of the trip - the bears. You'll have plenty of time as some of the activities are optional and you can choose what to do in your free time whether you like to relax and explore the cities or visit the museums in the area.
