Description

Bear Sanctuary Libearty Cultural Tour

The Bear Sanctuary Libearty Cultural Tour offers you the opportunity to find out the history of this place and to meet the lovely bears that have been rescued and are now free of any worries. The Sanctuary has 69 hectares of oak forest where the bears now have all the freedom they deserve. Some of them will be released back into the wild if they prove they have what it takes.

The Sanctuary is our first stop in the morning. This is also when the bears are being fed, so they naturally come closer and people can see them. After breakfast they normally go back into the woods to get some well deserved sleep. That’s why mornings are the ideal time of the day to visit. Also, the Libearty Sanctuary is only open from Tuesdays to Sundays and children under the age of five are not allowed inside.
