Bavarian Forest June 2016 (Hayo's images)

[Hayo Baan]

Since the bear cubs didn't really show themselves on our workshop visit in May, we decided to visit them once again in June.

Because it was quite hot outside, the bears spent a lot of time hidden away inside their cave where it was cooler. A couple of times a day they would all come out to play though so waiting patiently all day always paid off in the end!

Here are some of the pictures I took myself.
