The highlight of the trip comes in the afternoon, when you will go deep in the forest with an experienced ranger and see the Carpathian brown bears in their natural habitat. Once arrived in the safe bear hide, taste a shot of palinka (traditional Hungarian spirit) and wait for the bears to come just a few meters in front of you. Because the bear hide is specially built, the bears cannot see you through the windows and you can take amazing photos of them

Nous avons eu l'occasion avec un ami de passer une merveilleuse journée avec Robert (notre guide). Au cours de cette journée nous avons pu visiter à la fois des lieux historiques (patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO), mais aussi découvrir un cadre naturel unique, en particulier la visite de lacs volcaniques. Après avoir déjeuné dans un lieu très traditionnel nous avons eu la chance d'admirer des ours en liberté dans un lieu très agréable.

We went out for the whole day and it was definitely the best day of our trip!!! We started at Saint anna lake and Irena, our lovely guide, was very passionate and had tons of knowledge to share with us. The landscape is beautiful and very special. Then, we continued to a solfer cave that has a kind of medical affect due to the gas coming out of it. Awesome place and awesome way to get there. All along the day we were in good vibes and joy. At the end we went to the bear watching hide and saw a majestic and beautiful animal, very unique experience.
