Bear Watching – Family Short Break in Brasov / Bran

Choose an unforgettable experience for the entire family! Watch brown bears in their natural habitat. You will be accompanied by an experienced Forest Ranger, who will guide you and ensure your safety during the experience. The activity also includes accommodation in a centrally located hotel in Brasov. Alternatively, you can choose to be accommodated in Bran (300 meters from Bran Castle).

In the Romanian Carpathians, you can find about 60% of the European Brown Bear population. Now you have the opportunity to admire them in their own environment. Your activity includes transportation from Brasov or Bran to the bear hide and back. You will have access into the restricted wildlife area and our experienced Forest Ranger will accompany you to the bear hide. From the vantage point, you can admire brown bears, wild boars, deer, wolves or lynx. The Forest Ranger will carry a weapon which may only be used in extreme situations, for your protection.

Besides admiring the animals from a safe distance, you are also invited to take photos which will help you share your experience with your loved ones.
