Germany is home to a diverse array of wildlife. While beautiful birds, alpine butterflies, and oodles of fuzzy creatures are sure to delight the wilderness explorer, a few other animals—notably bears—are less than cuddly. (Except for baby Knut, of course). Always pack trash in a plastic bag and carry it with you until you reach the next trash receptical. If you do encounter a bear, do not approach it. Back away slowly while keeping your eye on the bear; bears are shy of humans and are likely not to attack if they do not feel threatened. For more information, consult How to Stay Alive in the Woods, by Bradford Angier (Black Dog & Leventhal Books; US $11).
