Reviewed By edysch - Bistrita, Romania
This Peat-Bog was formed on top of a former crater lake, offering an almost outlandish landscape, and harboring a handful of very interesting plants. Access is covered by the parking fee at the entrance and includes a guided tour, which starts every hour at .15 min. Once here, one should also visit its smaller twin, the neighboring St.-Ana crater lake.

Part of the hike from Zarnesti to Curmatura chalet, Zarnesti gorges (Prapastiile Zarnesti) are quite spectacular. They tend to be very busy over the weekends, especially during summertime. The trail follows the stream through the gorges for a few kilometres. It's a good activity for a hot summer day, as the trail is shaded by tall rocks. During summertime, the hikers need to pay an entrance fee (5 lei, about 1 Euro).

The tallest mountain peak in Romania, Moldoveanu stands proud in all its beauty, to be admired from its valeys or conquered by the more adventurous trackers.

Wow..just wow! The rollercoaster is amazing! Such a trill. And so cheap, just 15 lei each ride. The rollercoaster is 1.3km long. The area is so beautiful. The food is SO good!! Totally recommend Black Rock dish. The food is really cheap and super tasty. I was blown away by this place. We drove 500km and it was totally worth it!

The only indoor trampoline park in Brasov and the biggest in the country!

Nice experience, great big place with a lot of space where you can jump or play games. What i liked most was the foam pit, and the ninja warrior track where i challanged my friends and won! I only needed to buy the special socks from the entry, and i also liked that it is permitted to shoot yourself doing flips or other fun stuff. It is awesome that the program is from 10 to 21 so I had enough time to play and also rest. I recommend it for anybody, because it has all sorts of things you can do and even a place for the little ones(3 to 6 years old). If you are visiting Brasov it would be a shame if you would not visit this awesome place :D

Libearty Bear Sanctuary is the biggest brown bear sanctuary from Europeand has the largest surface in the world. Here, 75 bears found a nice home in this 5 stars welfare facility. Here you can see happy bears in their natural environment, after a bad life in circuses and zoo cages. The tours are guided by trained animal welfare experts and the visitors can see brown bears really close.

This was the highlight of my visit to Romania. It was absolutely amazing to see brown bears so close up. We watched a video at the start which was heart breaking, as it showed the treatment of the bears before they arrived at Libearty. After the video, it was even more special to see the bears outside playing. They now have loads of space to roam. There are also deer, donkeys and wolves at Liberty, though the bears are the main attraction. This isn’t a zoo so there are some rules in place for the comfort of the bears. For example, you must stay with the group at all times and be quiet. The staff were apologetic when enforcing these rules and were extremely polite. There’s a gift shop where you can adopt a bear and buy souvenirs. For such a small shop, they had a good selection to choose from (magnets, teddy bears, pens, T-shirts, etc). Note that no children under 5 are allowed. This is clearly stated on the website, but one man was very rude about it on the day when his kids were refused. This rule is for the children’s own safety and to be honest, I imagine it to be pretty distressing for them to watch the video about the treatment of the bears. I’m so glad Libearty exists and thank everyone involved for their work with the bears ????????
