Any of our wildlife tours could take you to the Carpathian Mountains, a natural border for Transylvania, where the untamed forests hold over 50% of the last remaining big European carnivores and the largest brown bear population in Europe.

The estimations are that around 5,500 brown bears are roaming freely in the Carpathian forests and they can be observed from early spring until late Autumn. Due to their high number there are plenty of opportunities to see them in special wildlife observatories, at the outskirts of some Romanian mountain resorts and there are big chances to meet them while walking or camping in the Carpathian Mountains.
