Bear Watching
The Alutaguse bear hides offer an excellent opportunity to see and photograph bears, other wildlife and birds. Alutaguse is well known as a bear stronghold – around half of Estonia’s 800 bears live in the forests and bogs there. Our hides are located in the western part of Alutaguse, near Sirtsi bog, one and a half to two hours by car from Tallinn and Tartu. The hides vary in size and purpose. All hides are comfortable and cosy, equipped with chairs, beds and toilet facilities.
 
Read more: The main purpose of the bear and wildlife observation hides, i.e. the new hides, is bear watching and also seeing other wildlife. In the two hides there are a total of four separate cabins, each with two bunk beds. Observation windows are on two sides of the hide. The front of the hide opens onto a shaded forest where forest species are mainly expected – bears, raccoon dogs, woodpeckers and others. From the back you can see the brook flood plain, which is favoured by open-landscape creatures. Sometimes elk and deer come to lick salt, the Ural owl hunts for mice or a golden eagle circles in the sky. A beaver grazes on the brook bank or wild boars come to drink water.
Photography enthusiasts can also take photos through glass in the new hides, and on request we can open a special camera hatch equipped with a camera bag from which you can photograph using your own tripod. Our tripod is also available on request. A dim light has been installed at the hide which does not disturb the animals, so observation is possible throughout the night.
A new addition is the sensitive microphone beside the hide, which brings forest sounds into the hide. On some quiet nights the world of sounds can offer even more powerful nature experiences than seeing animals – from the hide, wolf pack howling, elk mating calls and pygmy owl whistling have been heard.
