How to survive an encounter with a bear? An experienced forester advises
Encountering a brown bear in its natural habitat while trekking is a terrifying prospect for many. The good news is that this is very unlikely to happen. Not because there are still a few of these large predators, but primarily because of their inherent shyness and mischievousness. Bears avoid contact with people, and because they have a better sense of smell and hearing, they leave the road unnoticed.
If a bear starts walking towards us, it is important to announce your presence with a quiet sound. You should talk to the bear calmly, in a low voice, without shouting, shouting, and especially not imitating its sounds. Under no circumstances should you approach or make sudden movements. You should also not turn or run away. Bears are faster than humans.
