• 5Uplifting visit to the bear sanctuary.

  Uplifting visit to a real bear sanctuary. No.punches pulled background into the cruel and inhuman treatment of bears in Romania. However it was amazing to see the rescued bears mow living a good life. Highly recommended but can be a little emotional if you love bears.

• 5Amazing experience….

  Incredibly sad to hear about the history of these bears…. A fabulous end to a terribly abusive start in life though - and amazing to see them doing so well in a caring and naturalised environment ❤️‍🩹

• 5A fantastic experience!!

  A fantastic experience…. Our driver was lovely and told us a bit about the sanctuary before we got there…. It’s a long bumpy road leading up to the sanctuary - but once there, we had an opportunity to look around the small gift shop and use the restroom before heading off with the guide. We saw a number of bears…. all rescued from harsh backgrounds and given a new lease of life…. A brilliant trip and highly recommended 🥰

• 5Highly recommend !

  An amazing place .... they have rescued 130 ex circus & display bears ... who are now living the best life ! Unless you have a hire car, you do need to go with a tour company, as there is no public transport there, and it is a long dirt road, which apparently Uber / Bolt wont do ! Once at the Bear Sanctuary, you join a group tour.

• 5Loved it!

  This was the highlight of our visit to Romania. It was heartbreaking to hear the stories of abuse these bears endured, but so heartwarming to see them so well cared for and finally safe to live out their lives. We saw many bears, juveniles and cubs as well as a pair of rescued wolves. The tour guide was informative and incredibly patient with the group (as with any group, some people are rude and disrespectful). One thing of note, this is a walking tour and you do go up a decent size hill. Appropriate footwear and some level of fitness is required. One woman had to quit the tour due to her limitations.

• 5Amazing day with a brilliant guide

  Out guide Marius was brilliant and so knowledgeable not only about bears but about Romanian history. Once we arrived at the bear sanctuary we met a lovely guide who was obviously so passionate about animals. The stories were completely heartbreaking about how the bears were treated prior to being rescued, but it was a joy to see these beautiful animals with meadow and forest to roam in and pools to swim and play in. We also saw two rescue wolves and a baby deer. Once we left Marius took us to some lovely view points to take photos of the city He dropped us back in town and sent us a map showing us how to get to the city walls and text us links to some great restaurants. A wonderful day with a super guide🐻 thank you!

About Brașov

Brașov is a medieval Transylvanian city ringed by the Carpathians, with a Gothic Black Church, a cobbled main square and day trips to Bran Castle.

Brașov lies in a basin of the Carpathian Mountains in central Romania, with the wooded Tâmpa hill rising above its old town. The city was built up by German settlers, the Transylvanian Saxons, and its centre is a tidy grid of baroque houses around Council Square, with the Old Council House in the middle. The Black Church, the largest Gothic church between Vienna and Istanbul, was blackened by a fire in 1689.
