Join a cozy group tour of up to 8 travelers to the renowned Transfagarasan route and to observe the native brown bears in their habitat. Additionally, we’ll glimpse the Poienari Fortress, often recognized as the real castle of Vlad the Impaler - Dracula. However, the fortress is currently undergoing repair works so we’ll have to appreciate it from the exterior.

Thereafter, we will soak in the panoramic vistas of the Argeș Valley and venture into the Fagaras Mountains national park.

Our subsequent stop is at the Vidraru Dam and Lake, where you could take in the gorgeous lake views as well as the magnificent dam. Nestled amongst the mountains and verdant forests, this lake is home to the highest concentration of brown bears in Europe. They prowl in the forest and sometimes venture out onto the roads.

Later, we’ll arrive at the Transfăgărășan, a spectacular mountain path constructed during the 70’s for defense purposes.

Our journey will be punctuated with a halt at the striking Goat Waterfall followed by a visit to Bâlea glacial lake, where we’ll spend a full hour and a half.
