Libearty Bear Sanctuary Zarnesti, Zarnesti, Romania The sanctuary was opened in 2005, nowadays over 70 bears enjoying a new life in the Libearty Bear Sanctuary – 70 hectares of oak and hazel forest in the Carpathian Mountains above the Transylvanian town of Zarnesti. Here, the bears climb trees, swim in fresh water pools and forage on the vegetation. These forested areas contain hibernation dens and hundreds of trees with lush natural vegetation. For many of the bears, having been caught from the wild as cubs, this is a new and stimulating experience. 60 minutes

Thoroughly enjoyed my visits to the bear sanctuary and the fortress. The bear sanctuary , in particular, was of interest.
The best part of the tour was the guide, Claudiu. It was a bit of a drive to the region from Bucharest and during that time he answered questions, pointed out different towns and structures and shared information. He was also an excellent driver. One of the 3 best private tour guides I have had. Thank you for a great experience.
