Bear sanctuary Arbesbach, Bear rescue center in Arbesbach, Austria.
The sanctuary spans 14,000 square meters of natural woodland, featuring ponds and enrichment areas where brown bears explore, forage, and swim throughout the day.
Four Paws organization established this refuge in 1998 to provide rehabilitation and lifelong care for bears rescued from circuses, zoos, and private captivity.
The sanctuary educates visitors about bear conservation through multimedia exhibits, interactive displays, and guided tours that explain the importance of wildlife protection.
The facility opens from March 21 to November 2, charging 8 euros for adults and 5.50 euros for children, with parking available for 100 vehicles.
During winter months, the sanctuary closes completely to allow its resident bears to follow their natural hibernation cycle without human interference.
