On the trail of large carnivores

Come see wild animals in Transylvania, Romania. Watch large carnivores, brown bears at special observers, and hike on the mountain. The staff of Professional Team are specialists in Carpathian Large Carnivores observation. We have been taking foreign visitors to watch the large carnivores, the brown bears at special observatories, and trekking on mountain paths that offer excellent wildlife viewing in Romania, for a number of years. We are often able to observe red deer in the rutting season (15 September – 15 October), capercaillie during their mating season (April – May), and chamois on the high ridges of the Carpathian Mountains.

Because bears can be dangerous at close quarters, we will be accompanied by a ranger at bear watching locations. In order to minimise the impact on the wildlife we require a minimum of three persons and maximum of eighteen persons per evening. We will leave the bear watching hide to return to the guesthouse before sunset. These bears are truly wild and we have a 70 – 75% chance of seeing them at the hides. However we cannot guarantee sightings!

When hiking on unmarked paths we will be accompanied by rangers.
