Nature photography workshops last 4 days and take place in the most preserved, pristine forests in Slovenia. In addition to bears, they are home to lynxes, wolves, jackals, and Ural owls.
During the four days, you will take photos of the bears from special photo hides, secretly watch the Ural owl, search for traces of otters and other animals, visit an uninhabited bear’s den, set trail cameras, and make interesting panoramic photos of the Notranjska Region.
Naturally, with respect for the animals and the environment they live in.
