Libearty Bear Sanctuary Zarnesti

This is a fun experience for those who love animals and want to discover the beauty of The Carpathians and the area around Brasov. Early in the morning we'll be on board with a licensed driver, who'll bring us, through wilderness and untouched nature, to visit the bears sanctuary. Most of the bears in the Sanctuary were rescued from the most miserable and small cages where they were held for “fun”, as tourist attractions.
