In the south of the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district, a brown bear was proven to be on the move.

It is unclear whether it is the same animal that recently roamed the Garmisch-Partenkirchen district.

Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen

- A brown bear has demonstrably found its way to the district of Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen.

As reported by the Bavarian State Office for the Environment, a wildlife camera photographed the animal south of the B307 last weekend.

According to the announcement, authorities, interest groups and representatives of livestock farmers were informed.

Latest evidence of bears in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Tyrol

The last evidence of a brown bear in Bavaria comes from the Garmisch-Partenkirchen district at the end of April and beginning of May.

According to the State Office for the Environment, it is unclear whether it is the same animal.

The Austrian authorities have informed about the sighting of a brown bear last weekend in the Tyrolean municipality of Langkampfen.

Next bear population in Trentino

As a rule of conduct, the State Office points out that when you are in nature, for example on a hiking trip, you should be very careful not to leave any leftovers or rubbish in nature.

According to the state office, the nearest bear population is in Trentino, Italy, about 120 kilometers from Bavaria.

A bear population spreads very slowly.

It is not assumed that bears will settle permanently in Bavaria.

Bears roam far and wide in search of mates

"Young males sometimes roam very far in search of a female," the statement said.

“They can be on the road for several months or a few years.

If they don't find a partner, they return to their home country."
