Trivia: If you are lucky (or perhaps unlucky!) you may well meet a brown bear in the remoter parts of the mountains. This is one of the 10 species most at threat in Europe. For much of the year it hibernates and for the other months it leads a lonely (almost) existance eating everything in reach, nuts, fruit, fish, insects etc. The animals do not attack if not provoked and have a well deserved fear of humans.
