"Don't panic"
Bear sighting in Lech am Arlberg
As the state of Vorarlberg announced on Wednesday, a bear roamed the municipal area of Lech in the night to Wednesday. A whole series of rules of conduct must now be observed.
On Wednesday night, a wildlife camera recorded a brown bear in the municipal area of Lech am Arlberg. Judging by the tracks, it is most likely a younger male bear that has probably come to Vorarlberg from Trento via the Lech Valley, the province announced in a press release, citing the provincial wildlife ecologist Hubert Schatz. There is no reason to panic.
Stay alert
It is not yet possible to say whether the animal is exhibiting behavioral problems. However, the authorities recommend being particularly vigilant in the Lech area and not leaving the marked paths and keeping dogs on a lead. Farmers should keep their animals in the barn overnight with the doors closed and beehives should be secured with an electric fence. Anyone who sees the bear should report it to the nearest police station.
