The Transcarpathians are one of the last wild and partially untouched mountain landscapes on the European continent. We feel very connected to this nature, so we attach great importance to leaving as few traces as possible. This mindset should also be present with you.

You do not have to be afraid of wild animals in the Carpathians. It is more important that you respect animals and nature and treat them carefully.

It is not very likely that other wildlife than nearby eagles can be seen. The cars are noisy, and if not, the drivers are sitting by the fire ... but you still can not rule it out 100%.

Often we find traces of larger animals, hear them in the distance or even see them with binoculars, for example bears.

Some plants are better scared! The population of giant swallows is increasing dramatically, even gentle touches can lead to painful days. They grow very fast and are therefore very easy to recognize in spring.

Your dogs are always welcome on tour!

Ideally, the forest should be cleaner behind us than before!

Each vehicle collects ALL own waste up to the next gas station.

Unfortunately, garbage is found almost everywhere, and part of the garbage was left by off-roaders. Please help us to show the right way! It is also easy to collect garbage found in nature, regardless of who produced it.

In addition to the toilets at the gas station, we can not offer toilets on tour. Therefore, think of a folding spade, dig a small hole, then nature can break everything easily and quickly.
