If you meet a bear, specialists recommend "talking"

Mountain rescuers recommend tourists that when meeting a bear, either near localities or on tourist routes, to signal their presence by talking, so that the animal is not taken by surprise and can avoid humans.

It is strictly forbidden to feed or approach the animal for photography or other reasons. Mountain rescuers are equipped with pepper sprays and recommend tourists to keep such a container handy as a precaution.

We remind you that, on Saturday evening, a teenage tourist met a bear in the Central Park of Sinaia resort, being helped by a security guard, who, alerted by the girl's screams, intervened to drive the animal away and to shelter it.
