Pure Wilderness Experience: Mountaineering & Wildlife Tracking

Some parts of Romania's Carpathians are so well preserved, untouched and wild that they hide a true kingdom of nature and animals. Places where only true nature adventurers go. We will venture deep into dense forests and go on rough hikes to admire nature's virgin beauty, look for and observe the king of these parts: the brown bear. Ready for a pure wild nature experience?

Moments to expect

  • Pick up from Brasov and hike to the mountain cabin

    You will need to arrive in Brasov area around noon, as from here there is a 4-5 hours hike up to the mountain cabin at 1200m which will be our basecamp for this trip. You will carry your equipment in your backpack and expect a medium uphill but pleasant hike in Piatra Craiului National Park, the most beautiful in Romania.

  • Pure wild experience: nature exploring and bear observation

    For the next three days we will do various trips in the mountains to explore natural beauty and do some wildlife tracking and - hopefully - observation of brown bears. You will start before sunrise and hike to areas where we know you'll have maximum chances to see wild bears in natural but safe conditions.
