Spring time, including late April is one of the best and most reliable period to see the magnificant Brown Bears of the Carpathians, where – in some part – they are still abundant. Though it is never easy to find one of these shy animals just by chance, so local knowledge is almost essential. In two evenings, this time we managed to see no less than five bears: two large and three smaller ones.

While one drives to the Carpathians in the surrounding and also on route there are of course a lot to see, and many interesting bird species can be met. Some of them just arrived in late April, or just started to sing, thus for many of them this is the peak activity period. A few examples of these species:
