Additional Information

If you’ve only observed nature’s spectacle on television and yearn to experience it firsthand, Zarnesti’s Bear Sanctuary provides an authentic wilderness encounter for both adults and children.

Ever pondered how Europe’s most pristine virgin forests might appear without a brown bear reserve like this?

What if we proposed that you could photograph real bears and their cubs up-close, observe them feeding, and witness their everyday activities from just a few feet off, all without the fear of being attacked? It may sound incredible, but it’s entirely possible, and risk-free, in the world’s largest brown bear sanctuary. Consequently, the Bear Sanctuary ranks among Romania’s most popular natural tourist sites, attracting thousands of international visitors, regardless of the time of year. If this Transylvanian Medieval Tour appeals to you and your companions, now is the time to make a reservation.

Fantastic morning viewing amazing animals - Our guide Caitilin (apologies if incorrect spelling) picked us up right on time out front of our hotel. The tour is private so we had drive around in a comfortable new BMW sedan. Caitilin pointed out and explained some landmarks of Braşov, as well as the history. The bear sanctuary is about half hour away, and is an amazing place. Local park rangers escort you through the park, with history’s of each bear you see, and explain how the park operates. Such magnificent animals and a pleasure to see them. Walk through takes about 1 hour and cost 55 lei for entry, and additional 50 for photography (free on phone). Râşnov fortress is not far away: amazing views of the mountain range behind and the flatlands in front. Be prepared for some steep waking and some jagged/rocky paths once in the fortress. Caitilin patiently waits while we did both the sanctuary and fortress. He took us back to Braşov his the nearby ski resort town, and also a lookout point just above Braşov to get good pictures. A very nice morning out and Caitilin was great.
