Itinerary
Embark on an extraordinary expedition through Romania's Făgăraș Mountains in search of bears. Discover the breathtaking natural wonders and rich history of Romania's majestic Făgăraș Mountains on a journey crafted to captivate your senses.

Step into a masterpiece of Byzantine and Moorish-inspired architecture, where legends of master builder Manole and tales of royalty intertwine. This hallowed site is not only a symbol of spiritual heritage but also the eternal resting place of Romania's revered monarchs, including King Carol I and Queen Elisabeth.

Gaze up at the haunting ruins of this cliffside citadel, once the lair of Vlad the Impaler—the infamous inspiration for Dracula. Though its interiors remain off-limits, the fortress's rugged silhouette against the Carpathian sky and the chilling stories of its past promise an unforgettable encounter with history.

Stand in awe of Europe's towering engineering marvel, the Vidraru Dam, whose colossal structure cradles the shimmering Vidraru Lake. Wander its crest to soak in panoramic vistas of emerald peaks mirrored in the lake's glassy surface—a photographer's paradise.

Immerse yourself in a sanctuary of untamed wilderness, where dense forests, alpine meadows, and jagged ridges create a haven for wildlife, including the elusive brown bear. This pristine realm offers a raw, unfiltered connection to Romania's natural soul. On the Transfagarasan road, go in search of the brown bear.
