Program Description
A 4 day trip focused on spotting wild bears in uncontrolled conditions, in the company of a local English speaking bear researcher.
We leave very early in the morning (before sunrise) to watch wild bears in totally natural and uncontrolled conditions. Together with the bear researcher you will walk slowly on one of the numerous valleys teeming with wildlife looking for bears. The early departure is to enable you to track the animals before they go to sleep, which in mid-summer is until 8.00 am.
Bear watching short break extra activities
As extra activities, during day-time you can do some hiking and wildlife tracking, visit a shepherd camp, some of the local historical places (e.g. Bran Castle, Peles Castle or the medieval town of Brasov), go by horse drawn cart on one of the beautiful valleys close-by, hike, bike, paraglide, horse ride or just relax in the garden with a glass of home-made bilberry liquor or plum brandy, or the local “bear beer”.
In the late afternoon, we drive and hike to special places for bear watching in their natural habitat. The chances are quite high (about 90% for bears), as the researchers know the perfect spots for bear watching. Late in the evening (after sunset) you return to the guesthouse for a good night sleep.
