Serbian Bears at the Arosa Bear Sanctuary Switzerland
The town of Arosa has a new attraction – bears! Well at the moment there is just the one bear, Napa, who had been rescued from a circus in Serbia and brought to the Alpine idyll of Arosa. In time, however, four more bears will follow and the Arosa Bear Sanctuary in Graubünden officially opens to the public on 4th and 5th of August 2018.
Napa is is half brown bear and half polar bear. After being born in a zoo 12 years ago he was sold to the Corona Circus in Srbobran, Serbia. Thanks to the intervention of Vier Pfoten animal protection foundation and the Serbian government he has been set free and on 3rd July he moved to his new home in Arosa.
From Serbia to Swiss Alpine Pastures
The 350 kilo bear’s journey to the Arosa Bear Sanctuary in Switzerland took 28 hours. To get to his destination 1800 m high in the mountains in Arosa, Napa was transported by cable car.
