Adventoura Slovakia
Great way to explore local wildlife during a walk in the Tatra Mountains in Slovakia.
Bear-watching walking adventures in Slovakia are one of our most popular tours in the Tatra Mountains! Experienced bear guides will take you to the places with the best chance of spotting brown bears. We do about 30 tours in 4 months.
Seeing the brown bears in their territory is always great, even for our guides, as every day is different. But besides the brown bear, we will spot chamois, red deer, and bird species.
The Tatra Mountains National Park offers many places where you can spot them. Possible places to see them are in the village of Ždiar, the central mountain, as well as in the western Tatra mountain. We will take you to one of the best places to see them. Located near the village of Podbanské. The hike takes 7km into the valley and 7km back.
