Libearty Bear Sanctuary Zarnesti
After picking you up from your hotel in Brasov, we'll drive for about 40 minutes to the outskirts of Zarnest town, where is located the Bear Sanctuary. Also known as the "Libearty Bear Sanctuary," is Europe's largest sanctuary for rescued bears. Situated in Transylvania's Carpathian Mountains, it provides a natural haven for over 100 bears saved from captivity.

Rasnov Citadel: Garden and Panoramic View
I'll drive you straight to the gate of Rasnov Fortress, so you will not have to walk or take the tractor uphill like everyone else, this service is available just with me. While the fortress itself is CLOSED FOR RESTORATION, we will explore the fortress garden. Delve into the rich heritage of the region as we uncover fascinating facts about the Transylvanian Saxons and their contributions to the local culture. Learn fascinating facts about the fortress's strategic importance from tales of medieval sieges to the resilient spirit of the people. After our exploration, I would be delighted to recommend my father’s restaurant, "La Promenada" which is situated in a remote location near the forest. It is a traditional restaurant and is considered the best in Rasnov. Here, you can savor the flavors of Romania while reflecting on the intriguing stories we’ve uncovered.
