Day 2 - 3 / BEAR WATCHING IN ZARNESTI
On both days you will have two bear watching tours, one very early in the morning and one late afternoon. In the morning you will visit the local bear sanctuary and watch the bears at feeding time. In late-afternoon, together with a guide specialized in bear tracking you will hike the hills and valleys teeming with spectacular wildlife. This way you will be able to maximize your chances of spotting the bears in their natural habitat before they retire in their lairs. Although the chances of spotting are quite high (about 90%), we cannot guarantee that you will see them. During the day you will have the option to relax at the guesthouse or you can choose from some extra activities like hiking and trekking, visit a traditional sheepfold or visit the medieval city of Brasov.
