On a forest path near the German border, three cyclists in Austria claim to have seen a bear on Saturday.
The state of Tyrol announced that nobody was injured.
According to this information, the animal was on the "Bärenbad" forest path near Langkampfen in the Tyrolean district of Kufstein.
The area is around ten kilometers southwest of the municipality of Kiefersfelden in the district of Rosenheim on the Austrian border.
A wildlife camera had already recorded a bear in the region in June.
A bear was genetically identified as the attacker when a sheep was killed there shortly afterwards.
"Don't throw objects at the bear"
Anyone traveling in an area where bears are likely to be found should stay on the trails and make themselves known by talking or singing if they are unsure, officials advise.
Anyone who sees a bear should stop and draw the animal's attention by talking and waving their arms.
“Don't run away and don't try to approach him.
Try not to make threatening gestures and uncontrolled movements.
Also, do not throw objects at the bear.
Don't take the bear snapshot, it's better to withdraw slowly," advise the Tyrolean authorities.
