Overview

Thanks to the relatively low level of human intervention, Romania has become home to the largest brown bear population in Europe. Here, in the heart of the Carpathian mountains, you have the chance to observe these majestic animals in their natural habitat, find out interesting facts about the bear life in the wilderness and capture unique moments with your camera.

Join us for a short bear-watching adventure trip in the forests near Brașov, together with a specialised forest ranger that will answer all your questions.

What makes the tour with us different is that we will teach you about bears life, winter habits, diet and mating. We strongly believe this is a great opportunity to learn, apart from taking amazing pictures.

Activity itinerary

Piatra Craiului National Park Visitor Center
  • 2h
In the afternoon, we will pick you up from your accommodation in Brasov. We pass through Zarnesti and after another 25 minutes drive, we will arrive at a junction where we turn right. Then the fun part starts! We will drive for about 30 minutes deep in the forest, offroad and unpaved road, to where the bears roam free. Quietly, we will get out of the car and walk into a safe bear hide. The hide is built on wooden pillars and is situated at approximately 3 metres above the ground, to allow a better perspective of the area. Once the bears arrive, we need to keep silent not to scare them off. We can take photos or videos but turn our flashes off. After about 2 hours, we will get back to the car, quietly, and drive back to Brasov, where we will drop you off at your accommodation. *This tour requires a minimum of 2 attendees. If you are travelling alone, contact us before to see if you can join an already formed group.
