Medveotthon, the Bear Farm, is located about 30 kilometers from Budapest, in Veresegyház. It is a preserve for bears and wolves, where animals live in their natural habitat, but surrounded by the fence for visitors’ safety.
Bears are seen very well, they cool off in their pond, and come really close to the fence – you can even feed them with honey from the wooden spoons with long handles that can be obtained from the café. Wolves, however, are more discreet – they hide among the trees and observe you from the distance with their keen eyes.
The additional attraction there is a pen with boars and piglets. We spent most of the time watching them play in dirt.
