    Libearty Bear Sanctuary Zarnesti

    Libearty Bear Sanctuary in Zarnesti, Romania, is a refuge for rescued bears that have been previously kept in captivity. The sanctuary provides a natural environment for these bears to live in, allowing them to roam, forage, and interact with others. It's one of the largest bear sanctuaries in Europe and aims to raise awareness about the need for bear conservation and responsible tourism. Here you can see happy bears in their natural environment, after a bad life in circuses and zoo cages. The tours are guided by trained animal welfare experts and the visitors can see brown bears really close.
