We recommend wearing clothes appropriate to the time of year and the weather, and also packing gloves, a hat, functional clothing and a warmer jacket – it will come in handy if you’re observing animals for a longer period of time. High hiking boots and a raincoat or waterproof jacket are a must.

By paying the amount for the stay, participants confirm that they will participate in the excursion at their own risk and are aware of their physical condition for the given route. The lecturer bears no responsibility for the participants. We recommend that you take out mountain insurance.
