Join us on a brand new Bear & Wildlife Watching Slovakia Tour. Come to Slovakia to experience one of Europe’s most wildlife-rich mountain regions. This tour is focused on **ethical and safe wildlife observation**, combined with light hiking, cultural highlights, and enough flexibility to adapt to weather and animal behaviour. Over five days, you will explore the **High Tatras and surrounding foothills**, home to brown bears, chamois, marmots, beavers, and ground squirrels. Observation always takes place **from a safe distance**, using **binoculars and spotting scopes**, under the guidance of experienced local guides who understand animal behaviour and terrain. This is **not a zoo experience** and sightings can never be guaranteed — but the areas we visit are carefully selected based on long-term local knowledge and seasonal animal movement. To see the tour on our website **[CLICK HERE](https://www.slovakation.com/tour/bear-wildlife-watching-tour-slovakia/).** There are more information about the tour. **NOTE**: This trip does not focus on long or demanding hikes, but a basic level of fitness is required. You should be comfortable walking for several hours at an easy pace, standing still during wildlife observation, and riding a bicycle on paved roads. The activities are designed to be accessible, but participants should be in good general health to enjoy the experience comfortably. **PROGRAM** **Day 1** - **Arrival and meeting in Krakow** Meet the group at **Kraków Airport** at 16:00 and transfer to Slovakia. After approx. 2,5 hours you will arrive to your hotel in the area of the Tatra mountains in Slovakia. **Day 2** - **Brown Bears & Beavers** We start early, setting off at dawn to quietly walk into a remote mountain valley, when bears are most active. From a safe distance, we scan the surrounding slopes using binoculars and spotting scopes, observing wildlife without disturbance. After a relaxed lunch, we visit a traditional open-air museum before heading out again in the late afternoon to watch beavers in their natural river habitat. **KM walked**: 13 km, **Meters ascended**: 500m, **Meters descended**: 500m **Day 3** - **Chamois, Marmots & Alpine Forests** After breakfast, we use a chairlift to gain altitude effortlessly, avoiding steep climbs and keeping the day relaxed. The open chairlift offers wide views but feels stable and comfortable — suitable even for those cautious about heights. From the upper station, we walk through alpine forests and meadows, scanning for chamois and marmots. After lunch, we visit the nearby Vazecka cave, adding another natural element to the day. **KM walked**: 8 km, **Meters ascended**: 100m, **Meters descended**: 600m **Day 4 - Bears Again & Recovery Day** We set off early again, this time using **e-bikes** to move efficiently along a quiet mountain road into a remote valley. Riding e-bikes allows us to cover distance quickly and save energy for wildlife observation. From the valley end, we scan the surrounding slopes for brown bears using binoculars, always from a safe distance. Participants should be **confident** **riding** a bicycle on paved roads. The afternoon is kept flexible for rest or recovery and possible evening visit of the local thermal pools. **KM biked**: 24 km, **Meters ascended**: 400m **Day 5 - Ground Squirrels & Departure** On our final day, we visit **Spiš Castle**, a UNESCO World Heritage Site set high above the surrounding countryside. Its vast open grounds are home to a thriving colony of ground squirrels, making it a unique and surprisingly accessible wildlife-watching location. We keep the program light and unhurried before transferring to the airport. Transfer back to the airport is scheduled to arrive by approximately **15:00**. It is safe to book return flights departing **after 17:00**. **NOTE** This itinerary and the duration of the activities are subject to change due to group abilities and preferences, weather conditions and forecasts, special events, etc. PRICE OF **845 EUR** **INCLUDES**: * 4X accommodation in 3\* hotel in twin rooms in Tatra mountains region * 4X breakfast and 4X dinner * 1X chair lift ticket * Airport transfers and transfers within the trip * Guiding by an experienced wildlife specialist with formal education in nature conservation and ecology, and many years of hands-on field experience observing large mammals in the Carpathians * E-bike rental * Entry fees to Spis Castle, Vazecka Cave and Vrbov thermal pools * All group transfers **EXCLUDES** * Drinks and personal expenses * Lunches * Travel cost to Krakow and back **BOOKING YOUR PLACE** Please visit my website and sign up **[OVER HERE](https://www.slovakation.com/tour/bear-wildlife-watching-tour-slovakia/)** You will pay only 25% at the time of your booking, if the booking is made at least 30 days before the departure.

You can sleep in on the Sesquicentennial (observed), we’re shifting to the following Friday. But join the local UX community for a chat and some biscuits to catch up. If you were in CA for Figma Config, tell us all the lines and you can tell me how I can animate an SVG without coding it by hand, and why I’d even want to. Thanks to the team at Nationwide of supporting the group.

How to be a Better Communicator Communication is everything in life You are only as successful as your ability to communicate. \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate. Hosted by the Church of Scientology of Central Ohio 1266 Dublin Road, Columbus, OH 43215 For more information, contact Rhiannon, the Event Host at 614-221-5024
