Experience the tranquillity of solitude while observing nature\u2019s amazing game of life play out before your eyes.\r\n\r\nWith over 60% of its territory covered in dense forests,\u00a0Slovenia is one of the greenest countries in the world<\/strong>. A great example of Slovenian woodlands is the Ko\u010devski Rog primeval forest. This ancient marvel is home to 20,000-year-old cavemen dwellings and is ruled over by the majestic king of forests \u2013 the brown bear.\r\n\r\nThere are just under one thousand European brown bears living in Slovenia, around 600 of which roam the\u00a0Ko\u010devski Rog forest<\/strong>. The number of these magnificent creatures has grown dramatically in the last twenty years, which resulted in the government\u2019s decision to reduce the bear population by two hundred specimens in the coming years. This sparked a nation-wide outcry to preserve Slovenia\u2019s indigenous friendly giant. And rightly so. As human civilisation expands, the deforestation of certain areas has caused the brown bear to reach borderline extinction on the European continent. However, the\u00a0Slovenian bears are under strict conservation<\/strong>\u00a0and will undoubtedly be sharing our forests for many generations to come.\r\n\r\nAlthough a very tiny chance of actually catching a glimpse of a bear while hiking through Slovenia\u2019s grand primeval forest does exist, running into one is virtually impossible. Or is it? Normally, bears tend to avoid humans. As soon as they sense us approaching, they scurry off into the opposite direction never to be seen again. But here\u2019s where Bear Watching comes in.\r\n\r\nBy following a\u00a0wildlife expert<\/strong>\u00a0deep into Slovenia\u2019s bear country, you\u2019ll come\u00a0face-to-face<\/strong>\u00a0with this furry beast in its natural environment. Before venturing into the wilderness, our guide will teach you everything you need to know about bears and their habitat. Once in the safe confines of a wooden outpost, you\u2019ll be able to witness nature\u2019s wonderful creatures going about their daily lives. The outpost\u2019s\u00a0giant windows will give you an up-close view<\/strong>\u00a0of this spectacular animal. The experience is enhanced by the feeling of solitude and oneness with nature. In addition to the mighty bear, you may often be able to see wild foxes, lynxes, martens, deer, wolves, badgers, skunks and other beautiful forest dwellers. Amazing photos will be taken and loads of fun will be had!\r\n\r\nBear Watching doesn\u2019t only give you a unique opportunity to learn all about these stunning creatures and the woods in which they live. You\u2019ll also be\u00a0contributing to a good cause<\/strong>, as some of the proceeds go directly towards the preservation of local wildlife.
