Velebit refuge for young bears can be visited during spring, summer and autumn. Since bears are sleeping during the winter, we avoid disturbing them, and visits are exceptional if really necessary.
During the spring and fall, visitors should contact the Volunteer Station upon arrival to be welcomed, conducted and informed by one of the volunteers. In the summer, locals will welcome you and inform you.
The refuge can be visited from morning (9am) till 5 pm.
We recommend visits during the morning or late afternoon, especially during summer days (in the middle of the day, bears are often hidden because of strong heat).
Contact us by mail for more information.
