Bärenwald Arbesbach

BÄRENWALD Arbesbach is a sanctuary run by the animal welfare organization FOUR PAWS for bears in need. Here, bears from inadequate husbandry conditions find a new, animal-friendly home. In addition to the bear-watching experience, the facility offers plenty of opportunities for exploration: an exhibition, souvenir store, visitor trail with information stations and various play options round off the offer.

Guided tours by our bear experts provide a deeper insight into the work with these impressive wild animals.
