In a Facebook group called “Village Community of Gradišče-Škofljica,” one of the users wrote that his 16-year-old son had encountered a bear in the middle of the day. He told 24ur.com that it happened between the chapel in Gradišče and the beginning of the settlement, on the route to the bus station coming from Kočevje. “As every Wednesday, he was walking to train in Ljubljana and, as he said, he was walking normally along the road when he thought he saw something in the high grass.
At first, he thought it was a dog, but then he realized it was a bear,” he described. At that time, his son, according to his words, froze, and the bear then ran across the village road towards Kočevska cesta. Now, the father from Gradišče will provide his son with a bear spray for additional safety, he added, adding that bears are a regular occurrence in this area at this time.
“Up to now, we have not had any problems with bears,” the father from Gradišče added, who also added that bears are a regular occurrence in this area.
