Overview

The local town-owned sanctuary is recognized by the world animal protection agency for 25 years. With your visit, you will contribute to the well-being of the animals too. An air-conditioned van is used for transportation between Budapest and the Bear Sanctuary, the ride is one hour each way. The guide will give you all the information about the bears and wolves and depending on luck you will see such moves by the animals you can see only in Natural Geography films. The bears were saved from circuses and now they live happily in a huge territory we will walk around the area. The bears and wolves are living their natural way of life we are just observing them so you might see bears playing in a lake, climbing trees, or simply wrestling. Some bears are born here so sometimes you see cubs with their mom when bears are small they are in a separate area. This absolute freedom makes these wild animals happy and that is why this place is so unique.

We will visit a Bear and Wolf Sanctuary, where you will see brown bears and wolves living together in a huge territory. These bears were saved from circuses from different countries and now they are enjoying their normal way of life in the sanctuary. There are lakes and forest in sanctuary so if we are lucky we can see them playing in the lake in warm weather. We will walk around the area your guide will give you all the information so you will be an expert regarding the bears at the end of the tour. The sanctuary and the visitors are separated by a special fence but the animals are curious so they will come close to the fence. The sanctuary is supported by many animal protection organizations. The place is owned by the local government and it serves educational purposes too to see the way of life of these predators. It is absolutely safe for visitors, and very popular with Hungarians but as it is far from the city(45 km, about 28 miles) from the city most foreign visitors miss it.
