We met in Liptovsky Hradok on Sunday 22 nd January in the evening, so we started with activities on the next day. On Monday we spent very interesting day with Mrs. Svetlana Betkova from Slovak Wildlife society (SWS is a not-for-profit organisation specialising in carnivores such as the brown bear (Ursus arctos), grey wolf (Canis lupus) and Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx). In the morning we had a short talk where she presented useful information about predators in Slovkia and results of their organisation´s work. After that, we went for a long walk (15 km). We absolved terranian work and Svetlana tought us how to distinguish tracks of animals. How to observe tracks in context, not separately. Unfortunatelly, our search wasn ´t very succesfull because we haven´t found almost nothing, even though we were very satisfied because we absloved beautiful walk across Slovak nature. We were full of unforgotable experiences. In the evening we spent really nice time by making master pieces of preators like bear, fox, wolf or wild animal, after that we tried to learn more about our similarities or diferences by discussion.=====

On Thusday we continued with talks and tracking with Mrs. Betkova, but we chose Rackova dolina as our aim. There our search was succesfull for more reasons. First of all we saw really beautiful scenery, we felt like in fairy-tale there and moreover we found tracks of wolves, foxes, lynxs and we saw claw prints of bears. After that we continued in talks with Mrs. Betkova, we made work shops about predators and we watched films about wolves and bears. Then, we checked our knowledge by the quiz. All the groups were very succesfull. At night we made really exciting activity. We tested our orientation in forest, our task was to get back into the cottage by using GPS devices.=====

On Wednesday we were again divided into groups and we tired geocaching. But only one group was sucesfull and found a cache. The others had only healthy walk. Then we spent a great time in Tatralandia aqua resort and after that we tried to become familiar with folklor and mythology of our countries. The students prepared entertaining program, so it was really great point for the last evening of our meeting.=====
