Bears on the Transfăgărășan and in Romania !!!
(30 August 2025)
X

(30 August 2025)
You will most often encounter them on the Transfagarasan road, but increasingly in many other regions of Romania as well... the brown bears.
First of all, our BIG REQUEST:
DO NOT FEED THE BEARS!!
DO NOT ATTRACT THE BEARS!!
DO NOT stop and, ABOVE ALL, NEVER GET OUT OF THE CAR!!
BEARS are wild animals of the forest, not “tourist attractions.” Please respect this when driving and when encountering one or more bears! Enjoy the moment, but stay in your car and simply continue driving slowly.
In Romania, especially in the Carpathians, there are about 8,000 to 12,000 wild brown bears, and unfortunately more and more are drawn to roads and towns because they receive food from drivers or travelers. As a result, they keep returning, often with their cubs, to the roadside.
We understand, it is a special experience... but bears can also be very dangerous, especially a mother bear with her cubs. Mothers know: when it comes to the kids, the fun ends quickly, and things can become very dangerous. So once again... PLEASE SHOW RESPONSIBILITY AND RESPECT for these animals.
Feeding or attracting bears destroys their natural way of life... for just a moment of entertainment. So please, let the bears be bears, do not feed them and also do not stop when you see one or more on the roadside. Standing still only signals to the bear that food is coming. And getting out of the car to see a bear up close should NEVER happen. Thank you!
And for those who truly want to see bears up close, there are bear-watching stations (for example, here in Covasna County > https://medveles.hu/en/programs/tourist-bear-watching) where you can observe them safely, together with experienced guides.

About 35 km from the city of Brasov, to the northeast in the direction of Sfântu Gheorghe, lies the bear-watching site Medveles találkozóhely in Covasna County. And yes, the name doesn’t just sound Hungarian – it actually is Hungarian... because in this part of Romania, although deep in the east of Transylvania, the main spoken language is Hungarian.

https://medveles.hu/en/programs/tourist-bear-watching
According to current estimates, about 8,000 to 10,000 brown bears live in the forests and mountains of the Romanian Carpathians / Transylvania. If you have ever wanted to come face to face with a bear in a safe way, this is your chance. The bear-watching site offers visitors and photographers guided, professional experiences, including many activities – from bear observation to off-road tours.

Guests at Count Kálnoky's | Covasna County
(10 January 2025)
X

(10 January 2025)
Kálnoky's German-language guest house in the Transylvanian village of Miklósvár / Micloșoara dates back to the 19th century. The building has been carefully restored to retain its original charm and character of time and place.
The village itself does not have a great infrastructure, so no claim to technical perfection can (and should) be made. It's a living story in a wonderful setting ... if you like it, you'll love it and you'll never forget it.

Mother bear with girls / boys | mid-July
(15 September 2023)
X

(15 September 2023)
Almost two months ago, on the road from Lepsa to Targu Secuiesc ( Kronstadt / Brașov direction ), DN2D road.
Right where the Vrancea district merges with the Covasna district, after a curve in front of us, the bear's mother stands on the road and blocks the road. We stop like other drivers, turn on the danger lights and wait quietly as it lights up. The two boys show up and slowly cross the street. The bear's mother doesn't care about cars and goes on with the two little ones. And we also carefully pass over the bear family and are again richer by a 🥰 experience
