Step in nature

Gamtos savaitgaliai! Tai savaitgaliai kuriuos praleidau viename Kroatijos kaime Kuterevo. Kuterevo yra mažas kaimelis Kroatijos viduryje kuriame gyvena tik 634 gyventojai. Šis kaimas yra ypatingas tuo, jog jame yra globojamos meškos! Yra padaryti tam tikri aptvarai kuriuose gyvena meškos ir žmonės jomis rūpinasi. Jomis rūpinasi ir keli mano draugai, EVS savanoriai, kuriuos aš sugalvojau aplankyti.

/// Nature Weekends! Weekends which I've spent in one Croatian village Kuterevo. Kuterevo is a small village in the Velebit from 634 habitants. It is situated between seaside and Velebit Mountains. It is 30 km from Senj a beautiful city at the seaside; 60 km from the National park the Plitvice lakes and only 10 km from the National park Northern Velebit.This village is special because that they have The Bear Refuge there. The Bear Refuge was founded in 2002. In this moment eight bears are hosted in the Refugium Ursorum Kuterevo. All of these bears lost their mothers during their first year of life and thus had no chance of survival in the wild. You can read more about it here: http://kuterevo.wordpress.com/

So the reason why I went there is that my friends -  EVS volunteers are volunteering there. 

Kuterevo miestelis yra apsuptas gamtos, kur pažvelgsi ten kalnai, kalvos ir miškai. Ramu, gera.. EVS savanoriai ten turi ekologiškus ūkius, jie patys sodina daržoves, jas ravi, augina vištas ir antis, taip pat rūpinasi meškomis. Taigi nuvykusi ten ir aš gavau truputį darbo :) Ruošiau dirvą, sodinau svogūnus ir kitas daržoves - negalvojau, kad tai gali būti taip smagu! Prisiminiau vaikystės vasaras praleistas kaime :) Laisvu nuo "darbo" metu nuobodžiauti ten neteko - lankėm vietinius gyventojus, lipom į kalnus, apžiūrinėjom meškas, bendravom, juokavom, žaidėm... Žodžiu puikiai ir linksmai praleistas laikas!

///   Kuterevo village is surrounded by nature: mountains, hills and forests. Quiet, relaxing, chill .. EVS volunteers there have eco farms, they are planting their own vegetables, raising chickens and ducks, as well as feeding bears and hosting visitors. So I went there and got a bit of work to do too:) I was preparing the way for planting onions and other vegetables - I did not think it could be so much fun! I remembered my childhood summers which I've spent in my grandparents farm :) At free from the "work" time we were visiting local people, hiking to the top of the mountains, playing games, making jokes... Shortly - have spent great qualitative time there.

Taigi tikrai ne paskutinis kartas kai aš vykstu ten, juolab jog ten visada manęs laukia linksmi bei besišypsantys draugai :) 

So it's definitely not the last time when I went there, it's a wonderful place to run away from the city noice and there are always my friends which I want to visit again and again.
