We love bears, it's been like this since our early childhood. There's Teddy, then Winnie the Pooh, Mowgli's friend and tutor Baloo, and of course Masha's bear, aren't they cute? But, those real teddy bears are life-threatening, especially if they are protecting a tree.
Anyone hiking around Balatonhenye should pay extra attention in the forest, because a well-known hiking blogger found bear footprints near Balatonhenye, vasarnap.hu reported. The Camino Steve , wrote on his website that he ran into signs of the animal on a forest road on Sunday.
"It is quite a shocking experience to find such a track at Lake Balaton, since everyone has only discovered that a bear had been there before in the forests of Bükk, Mátra, Börzsöny and Zemplén. "Not a single bear has ever ventured this far and especially in this direction through the green corridors," he noted.
According to Camino Steve, he asked several Hungarian and Transylvanian experts, who all agreed that the tracks really came from a bear.
"It can be seen that the track is not fresh and that the animal may have walked on it after the heavy rain a few days ago. In addition , a smaller track was visible next to it, so I suspect that it could be a female bear and at least one bear, so it is particularly important that all hikers be adequately prepared!" the blogger wrote.
In other words, we better not want to see that bear…
