Over the course of this 2-day expedition, you’ll explore the most intriguing locations in Transylvania and experience a unique encounter with Romanian brown bears in their natural environment - the Carpathian forest.
Brown bears are known for their diverse global presence, due to their capacity to thrive in myriad habitats. It is estimated that there are over 200,000 brown bears around the globe, with around 6,000 residing in Romania’s Carpathian region. They are some of the largest extant carnivores. The males can reach up to 350kg, while females can grow up to 200kg. The heaviest brown bear on record, at a staggering 480kg, was registered in Romania.
