Overview

A highly recommended day trip for where you will discover the biggest brown bear sanctuary in the world and Bran and Peles. Two unique castles starting from Brasov, one of the most beautiful and visited cities in Transylvania.

You will enjoy a guided tour at the Zărnești Bear Sanctuary, a 1-hour easy walk in the forest with views over the national Parks of Bucegi and Piatra Craiului.

In only 30 minutes drive we switch from nature and wildlife to history and to the legend of Count Dracula at the famous Bran Castle. You will be astonished by the new perspective they gain when arriving in these Transylvanian territories and a lot of them find this tour mysterious and educative at the same time.

Last but not least visit as optional you can visit the “Pearl of the Carpathians” at Peles Castle, the summer residence for the Romanian royal family. Peles castle, unknown to most travellers is definitely one of the most beautiful and underrated castles in Europe.

Libearty Bear Sanctuary Zarnesti

To reach the Bear Sanctuary from Brasov, we drive for 45 minutes through picturesque towns and villages before reaching open countryside and gently rolling hills.Thanks to the relatively low level of human intervention, Romania is home to 60% of Europe's brown bears. When we talk about saving bears, we’re not talking so much about the wild Romanian bears, as the ones who have had a terrible existence, held captive by private owners and in small Eastern European zoo enclosures until fairly recently.This is where the Libearty Bear Sanctuary comes in, re-homing, rehabilitating and giving these captive bears a chance of ending their days in a more natural environment. Zărnești Bear Sanctuary is recognized by many specialists, as the most ethical brown bear sanctuary in the world. The Sanctuary has 69 hectares of oak forest, with trees where the bears can climb, swimming pools where they can splash, food according to their diets studied by the veterinarians and medical care.

Bran Castle (Dracula's Castle)

After we leave the Bear Sanctuary behind, we will immediately be arriving at the most exciting destination for most travellers: The Bran Castle or Dracula's Castle.
