The lovely Park has hiking trails in the mountains with different difficulty levels. The place is beautiful, combines mountains and streams, and is partially shaded.
Since we are not local, we were amazed to see an alert at the entrance to the track, which warns of bears and instructs what to do if you meet one:
Do not run, shout, or turn your back towards the bear.
Make yourself look as large as possible.
Put the children between adults.
Talk to the bear authoritatively and back away slowly.
And if the bear attacks - fight it.
We were a little stressed, and when we asked the locals, they told us that it was okay and that if we followed the instructions, there was nothing to worry about. So we went for a walk, hoping we wouldn't meet a bear up close.
Just so you know, parking at the beginning of the route costs money in the summer months, parking spaces are limited, and the city operates a free shuttle from eight in the morning to eight in the evening on weekends and holidays. More details can be found here.
