Meeting a wild animal – a terrifying thought. This is exactly what an Italian hiker in Carinthia experienced.
The Italian was alone on the Karnischer Höhenweg and spent the night in the Oisternig hut with hut host Natascha Errath. “When she continued walking the next day, she was standing at the huts at the Almkapelle Maria Schnee at 7 a.m., just a few meters away from the bear,” says the well-known Feistritzer Noriker horse breeder Werner Godec of the “krone” .
Fortunately, the bear responded calmly and even let the walker take a picture of him with his smartphone before continuing. A spectacular experience!
Five sheep have already been killed by Bär . this year
Brown bears have been following their tracks around the Feistritzer Alm for years – but few have actually met them in person. “But we keep finding scratches and paw prints. This year alone, the shaggy has already killed five of our sheep. We also have many injured cows and horses because the bears worry them at night. The animals then flee in panic, fall or injure themselves on the rocks,” says the farmer.
