The Bear Park in Fl?
by SORHUS
We have been driving past this place for years and finally we took the time to stop and it was well worth it :-)
The bear park is situated in Vassfaret near the village Fl? on route R7 between the village Nesbyen ( where you can get to Langedrag to see more mountain animals) and Norefjell (another ski resort)
Vassfaret is a valley between Hallingdal and Valdres with forest , mountains and lakes
There are diffrent walks/hikes (from 3 km to 16 km long) u can take in this beatiful area or you can stay in the park and look at elk(moose), brown bear, hedghogs, goats ,lams , hens,rabbits , and deer
The park has also fasilities so you can bring food and use their BBQ's and there are many tables around, also a playground for the kids
When we where there we came when it was food time and got to see the brown bears cubs, they where so cute...but went hideing when they saw all the people so i didnt get a chance to get any picture of them
The bear got pastery , carrots and meat for food this time of the year
When we where there they where still in their small area but later in the summer they will have a huge area to walk around
We also got close to the elk/moose and the little deer tried to hit us with its horns :-)
