The Wild Nordic team is enthusiastic about sharing their knowledge. The atmosphere at the site is familial and nice. The hides are well equipped. I was there end june - begin july.

We had the luck to see a large (probably) male bear at a short distance, between 10-50 meters. It was an unique moment to see a wild bear living in the...
