Carpathian Wilderness: A Wildlife Experience from Brașov
Join us to observe and admire Carpathian wildlife in its natural habitat from a specially designed observation hide deep in the Transylvanian forest.
About this experience
The forest ranger leads you along a mountain path through the forest, walking a few hundred meters to the observation hide, where you wait quietly for the wildlife to appear (walking time approx. 20 minutes). There is a high chance (statistically around 70%) of spotting wild boar, roe deer, red deer, wolves, and a variety of forest birds—and you may even spot Europe’s largest land predator in its natural habitat, a truly unforgettable experience.
Brown bears (Ursus arctos) have a wide global distribution, reflecting their ability to adapt to a variety of habitats. The brown bear's principal range includes parts of Russia, India, China, Canada, the United States (primarily Alaska), Scandinavia, and the Carpathian region (especially Romania). There are estimated to be more than 200.000 brown bears worldwide, with approximately 5.500 individuals in the Carpathian region of Romania. They are amongst the argest living carnivores and can grow to enormous sizes: males up to 350kg and females up to 200kg. Adult males tend to be, on average, 8 to 10% larger than females. They have good hearing, an excellent sense of smell, and can live for up to 30 years.
