Itinerary
The sanctuary was created because of the need to rescue bears found suffering in small and rusted cages around the country. The sanctuary construction started in 2005, and today there are over 70 rescued bears living in several large forested enclosures measuring around 27 hectares in total. These forested areas contain large freshwater pools, hibernation dens and hundreds of trees with lush natural vegetation.
Commonly known outside Romania as Dracula's Castle, it is a national monument and landmark in Romania. The fortress is on the Transylvanian side of the historical border with Wallachia.

About Bucharest
Belle-époque boulevards, Orthodox churches and communist-era monuments meet around a busy old town in Bucharest, Romania's capital.
The vast Palace of the Parliament, among the largest administrative buildings in the world, dominates the centre as a striking legacy of the Ceaușescu era. Calea Victoriei, the grand avenue, leads past the domed Romanian Athenaeum concert hall, the former Royal Palace that houses the National Museum of Art, and Revolution Square, where the events of 1989 unfolded.
Top-ranked sights in Bucharest: Palace of Parliament (Palatul Parlamentului), Revolution Square (Piata Revolutiei), Arcul de Triumf (Arch of Triumph).
