Pivka - the land of caves, intermittent lakes and bears
Organized adventures
Watching bears in natural environment
We take an off-road car to Javornik woods, where bears still live in their natural environment. Along the way, we also see the Petelinjsko intermittent lake and the Pivka valley. We get acquainted with the history and geographical features of it and continue our way through the forest to the place of observation. There we climb a tree or go to an observation house where we wait for the bears and observe them when they arrive. Along the way, we learn a lot about their life and place in nature. The tour is not suitable for children under 8 years of age. Peace and quiet are needed while waiting for the bears and watching them.

Visit to the Palško intermittent lake - the largest lake in the Pivka region, which measures as much as 100 Ha. In the summer months it is mostly dry, but still worth a visit due to the rich flora and fauna.
