Your adventure begins with a visit to the Libearty Bear Sanctuary, one of the largest and most respected ethical bear sanctuaries in Europe. More than 100 brown bears rescued from captivity now live freely in a protected forest environment in the Carpathian Mountains. During the visit, you will walk along forest paths and observe these incredible animals from safe viewing platforms while learning their powerful rescue stories. This is truly one of the most moving wildlife experiences in Romania.
Between destinations, enjoy a scenic drive through the beautiful Carpathian Mountains. Your guide will share stories about Romanian traditions, wildlife and local life while you admire forests, mountain landscapes and charming villages along the way.
Next, explore the famous Bran Castle, often referred to as Dracula’s Castle. Perched dramatically on a rocky hilltop, the castle became world-famous thanks to the Dracula legend inspired by Bram Stoker’s novel. Inside, discover medieval rooms, narrow staircases and fascinating stories about the castle’s real history and its connection to Romanian royalty. You will also have free time to explore the traditional market nearby for souvenirs and local products and time for launch.
