My name is Štefan, and I’m the founder of Bear Watching Slovakia. As a passionate bear enthusiast, I love sharing my knowledge and experience with clients on unforgettable bear watching tours. I enjoy hiking in nature, especially in challenging environments, and guiding people to truly become part of it.
Over the years, I have had hundreds of bear encounters and climbed almost every peak in the Tatras, totaling over 300 summits, needle towers, and mounds. For many years, I have focused primarily on observing bears—creatures I both admire and deeply respect. My goal is to share the beauty of witnessing these magnificent animals in their natural habitat.
Encountering a bear in the wild is a unique and enriching experience that goes far beyond the thrill of the moment. Observing these remarkable animals can create a lasting connection with nature and inspire a deeper commitment to protecting the precious ecosystems they call home.
English-speaking clients are very welcome, and I am confident that you will leave with a truly memorable experience.
