Château de Bran et sanctuaire des ours de Brasov - Château de Peles en option
Description
Une excursion d'une journée hautement recommandée pour découvrir le plus grand sanctuaire d'ours bruns du monde, ainsi que Bran et Peles. Deux châteaux uniques à partir de Brasov, l'une des villes les plus belles et les plus visitées de Transylvanie. Vous profiterez d'une visite guidée au sanctuaire des ours de Zărnești, une promenade facile d'une heure dans la forêt avec vue sur les parcs nationaux de Bucegi et Piatra Craiului. En seulement 30 minutes de route, nous passons de la nature et de la faune à l'histoire et à la légende du comte Dracula au célèbre château de Bran. Vous serez étonnés par la nouvelle perspective qu'ils acquièrent en arrivant dans ces territoires de Transylvanie et beaucoup d'entre eux trouvent cette visite mystérieuse et éducative à la fois. Enfin, en option, vous pouvez visiter la "Perle des Carpates" au château de Peles, la résidence d'été de la famille royale roumaine. Le château de Peles, inconnu de la plupart des voyageurs, est certainement l'un des châteaux les plus beaux et les plus sous-estimés d'Europe.

Itinéraire
Pour atteindre le sanctuaire de l'ours depuis Brasov, nous conduisons pendant 45 minutes à travers des villes et villages pittoresques avant d'atteindre la campagne ouverte et les douces collines. Grâce au niveau d'intervention humaine relativement faible, la Roumanie abrite 60% des ours bruns d'Europe. Quand on parle de sauver des ours, on ne parle pas tant des ours sauvages roumains que de ceux qui ont eu une existence terrible, retenus captifs par des propriétaires privés et dans de petits enclos de zoos d'Europe de l'Est jusqu'à assez récemment. C'est là qu'intervient le Libearty Bear Sanctuary, reloge, réhabilite et donne à ces ours captifs une chance de finir leurs jours dans un environnement plus naturel. Le sanctuaire d'ours de Zărnești est reconnu par de nombreux spécialistes comme le sanctuaire d'ours brun le plus éthique au monde. Le Sanctuaire dispose de 69 hectares de forêt de chênes, avec des arbres où les ours peuvent grimper, des piscines où ils peuvent s'éclabousser, de la nourriture selon leur régime alimentaire étudiée par les vétérinaires et des soins médicaux.
Après avoir quitté le sanctuaire des ours, nous arriverons immédiatement à la destination la plus excitante pour la plupart des voyageurs : le château de Bran ou le château de Dracula. Si par hasard, vous vous trouvez être un grand fan du roman de Bram Stoker ou que vous avez découvert "Dracula" à partir de différentes représentations cinématographiques, nous ferons en sorte, de vous offrir une toute nouvelle perspective. Vous découvrirez des informations historiques liées à Vlad l'Empaleur (Țepeș) et à l'histoire du château qui commence plus de 800 ans auparavant et qui est principalement liée aux croisades ainsi qu'aux chevaliers teutoniques. Les voyageurs seront fascinés par la nouvelle perspective qu'ils acquièrent en arrivant sur ces territoires de Transylvanie et beaucoup d'entre eux trouvent cette visite mystérieuse et éducative en même temps.

We did a full day tour with our guide Marius. It was me, my wife and 3 grown up children. We were picked up from our apartment and did Bran Castle, the bear sanctuary, quick stop off at Palincaria distillery and finally Peles Castle. Marius provided us with water and umbrellas and the whole day was a fantastic experience. Every single thing we did was a lovely experience and the information / knowledge provided by Marius was fantastic and he was always happy to take photos and answer any questions. Nothing was too much trouble. Must also mention communication was brilliant before and during our trip and he provided us with lots of information and recommendations not only for our stay in Brasov but also for our onward journey to Bucharest. Would have no hesitation in recommending these tours and we will definitely be using again next time we visit Brasov and Marius is an absolute superstar 😊 Thanks for a wonderful day until next time.
We had a fantastic tour. The weather was bad but we still all had a great time. Our tour guide Daniela was so knowledgeable and told us the history of the areas. She made sure we got to the destinations on time whilst still having time to take it all in. She also gave us some great tips about where and what to eat which we followed up and was great. I would definitely recommend. All communication was easy and quick. Thank you for a great trip.
I used Boutique Romania for a group trip to Transylvania in September. They are trustworthy, dependable and knowledgeable. Our experience with them was faultless. Would highly recommend.
We turned to Boutique Romania Tours for a day visit to Bran and Peleş Castles, as well as the town of Brasov. We were contacted by Ovidiu with whom we had a quick exchange of emails, organizing a private tour with a guide (in English), paying in advance a deposit of 120 Euro by bank transfer, while the remaining 180 Euro to be delivered cash to the guide. For the entrance tickets to the castles we have done it independently, booking them on the respective websites: the guide came directly to the hotel and accompanied us throughout the day, leaving us free time available. We want to congratulate the perfect organization of Ovidiu and the professionalism and kindness of our guide Ion who made sure we spent a beautiful day in Transylvania. We strongly recommend contacting this tour operator, who has proven to be serious and efficient.
Nice tour, well organized, castles and wonderful landscapes. Filippo competent and attentive guide! All good, good!
Tour Operator prepared and excellently organised! Nothing to say about any aspect... exceptional knowledge of history and places! they know how to move and where to go so that everything goes well, Codru our guide, kind and competent, even organized our next day even if it hadn't been planned with them! I highly recommend them!
Our precious guide Iulian made us spend a wonderful day among the castles of Transylvania, telling, during the trip, the past and present of Romania and the history of the places visited Absolutely beyond expectations We truly thank him from the bottom of our hearts for the wonderful experience and we will recommend him to anyone who goes to Romania Hi Julian
11 day tour of Romania very well prepared. No problems arose, appointments with the scheduled events respected in particular for the Assumption in Maramures. Local Romanian guide, Ovidiu Botoni, perfectly kind, knows Italian very well, knows Romanian history and art and also a lot about Italy enough to make appropriate comparisons. The agency also offered us two excellent lunches that were not initially planned. I booked the trip with Azalai, an Italian tour operator, but I would recommend booking directly with them. Excellent hotels and beautiful setting country, all the more so as it is unexpected
My husband and I recently took a dream trip to Hungary and Romania, and we were very fortunate to have Ovidiu Botoni as our private guide for most of the Romanian portion of our trip. It can be challenging when you’re spending several hours a day with a stranger, but we both quickly came to adore Ovidiu. Not only was Ovidiu incredibly knowledgeable about all things Romania – the past and recent political history, details on Bran and Pelles Castles, Vlad the Impaler, Brasov, the Carpathians, the Libearty Bear Sanctuary, and so much more, but he was also fun to be around and an absolutely lovely person. We spent three days with Ovidiu as he guided us through southern Transylvania and then drove us south to Bucharest. During that time we saw and learned so much that made our trip truly magical. Also, Ovidiu was quick to learn our likes and dislikes. I’m a vegetarian (and a picky eater), and Ovidiu took us to an absolutely delicious restaurant in Brasov and recommended more for us to try on our own. If you’re planning a trip to beautiful Romania, definitely work with Ovidiu. Romania surpassed our wildest expectations, and Ovidiu played a large part in making our trip such a wonderful experience.
