This is the most beautiful & heartbreaking place to visit. The life story behind these bears is horrifying. I am very grateful to the staff of this sanctuary & the professionalism they provide. I really appreciate how the bears quality of life comes first. Long before tourism, for example they only offer morning tours & they limit how many can visit per day. It was my pleasure to visit, learn & see the growth of some of these bears that were brought here from terrifying conditions & environments. To see how they have overcome these terrors by the love, joy & gentle care from the staff is heartwarming. May you all be blessed for nurturing these magnificent animals. I hope more people come to visit & adopt more of these bears.

Thank you so much for your deeply moving review. ❤️
We completely agree — visiting Libearty Bear Sanctuary is both beautiful and emotional. The stories behind these bears are heartbreaking, but seeing their transformation and the peaceful life they now have is truly powerful.
We also have immense respect for the dedication and professionalism of the sanctuary staff. As you mentioned, the bears’ wellbeing always comes first — long before tourism — and that is exactly what makes this place so special.
Thank you for visiting, for understanding the mission, and for sharing such thoughtful words. We hope your message inspires many others to support and adopt these magnificent animals.
Warm regards,
Bogdan

Amazing & unique day from historical sites to the emotional bear sanctuary.
Miora was an amazing guide. She knew all the sad stories behind every rescued bear inside the sanctuary. Which was helpful to understand just how important this place is to these bears. Its a sad history of these bears yet its beautiful to see how joyful & at peace these bears are. At Bran castle she explained in depth the history of this castle from its birth all through the different empires & Kings & Queens that inhabited this place throughout the centuries. Including truths & legends that gave rise to Dracula & why Bram Stoker wrote his now famous book. Brosov fortress & the history behind its importance to the safety of this area as well as learning for centuries this fortress was self governed & without a King or Castle overlord. Honestly I have traveled to 84 different countries. I have never heard of a self governed fortress anywhere else on earth. Especially during the medieval era. Just an incredible day with the bears & learning so much unique rich history of this area.

Thank you so much for this extraordinary and detailed review! 😊
We’re truly grateful for your thoughtful words. Miora will be so happy to know that her storytelling about the rescued bears helped you understand just how important the sanctuary is. It is indeed a heartbreaking history — but also a beautiful transformation when you see how peaceful and joyful the bears are today.
We’re also delighted that you enjoyed the in-depth history at Bran Castle, from medieval origins through the different royal periods, along with the mix of truth and legend surrounding Dracula and Bram Stoker’s famous novel. And yes — the self-governed medieval fortress of Brașov is one of those rare historical facts that surprises even seasoned travelers!
Hearing this from someone who has visited 84 countries truly means a lot to us. Thank you for spending your day with the bears and discovering the rich and unique history of this region.
We would be honored to welcome you back anytime for another unforgettable experience in Romania.
Warm regards,
Bogdan

Bears and Bran!
Great service. Had a lot of information and answered all the questions I had. Very friendly. Was raining when we finished so he dropped us to our hotel.
The bear sanctuary is awesome. Then Bogdan gave us a guided tour of Bran Castle.
Only thing is Rashnov fortress is closed so that may not be worth visiting. Better off to do Peles instead.
Overall a nice day out! Thanks

Thank you so much! 😊
I’m glad you enjoyed the day and the visits to the Bear Sanctuary and Bran Castle. Sorry about the rain — happy I could drop you at the hotel.
You’re right about Râșnov while it’s closed; Peleș is a great alternative.
Thanks again for joining — it was a pleasure! 🇷🇴✨

Day trip to Bear Sanctuary and Bran Castle
Great trip to do and I would recommend
However if you go from Bucharest it is a 3 hour drive and if you have any physical impairment then this may be difficult
Bear sanctuary interesting, I didn’t agree with all of their ethics but they are doing a good job looking after rescued bears which they keep in large enclosures
Well worth visiting together with Bran Castle as a day trip
Bran castle - if you have physical impairment then you will be limited in some areas for access
Try the local breads and savouries outside in the bazaar

Excellent 👌👍
Our tour guide was great and very knowledgeable. The car was comfortable and the time and activities flew by. The bears were highly moving and also inspiring. The fort had absolutely stunning mountainous views and of course Dracula's Castle is so much fun! She also helped advise about local foods to try which was really beneficial. Thank you!

Enjoyable
I loved it. It crossed off most of the must see attractions in Brasov for me. I have never seen a bear before and you will definitely get a chance to see them here at the sanctuary. The driver arrived on time, was not late to any destinations and drove safely.
