Full description

If until now you have only witnessed the spectacle of nature want to see it up-close, the Bear Sanctuary in Zarnesti

Imagine how the most beautiful virgin European forests would look like without a brown bear reserve like this one?

And what if we tell you can take pictures of real bears with their cubs up-close, and watch them eat and go about their day from only a few steps away, without the fear of getting attacked?Well, as unbelievable as that sounds, you can do it all, risk-free, in the biggest brown bear sanctuary in the world. That is why the Bear Sanctuary is one of the most sought-after natural tourist attractions in Romania for thousands of people around the globe, regardless of the season. If you think that this Transylvanian Medieval Tour is for you and your friends, it is the perfect occasion to book a trip.

I was very excited to see some bears! That was the highlight of my trip. Our guide was really friendly and helpful. Dracula castle is ok. Not my cup.of tea. The fortress is closed but it offers stunning views and beautiful nature so definitely recommend.
