Embark on an unforgettable journey into the heart of the Carpathian Mountains with our exclusive day trip from Bucharest. This immersive tour combines the heartwarming experience of wildlife conservation at the world-renowned Libearty Bear Sanctuary with the chilling mystery of Bran Castle, famously known as Dracula’s Castle.
Your adventure begins as we head toward Zarnesti, where the Libearty Sanctuary spans over 69 hectares of lush forests, rivers, and ponds. This sanctuary is a haven for nearly 90 brown bears that have been rescued from miserable lives in captivity. Previously held in small cages at restaurants, hotels, or gas stations, these magnificent creatures now roam free in their natural habitat. You will hear their emotional stories and witness their transformation as they rediscover freedom. It is a deeply moving experience that is perfect for animal lovers and families alike.
After our time at the sanctuary, we travel to the iconic Bran Castle. Perched dramatically on a cliff, this medieval fortress is shrouded in myths and legends surrounding Count Dracula. As we explore its narrow staircases and mysterious chambers, you will understand why this site remains one of Romania’s most famous landmarks.
