Additional Information
History and geography conspired to make Transylvania in central Romania one
of Europe’s most beautifully wild and fascinating regions. For centuries
the locals have existed in harmony with a variety of wildlife, including
Europe’s highest concentration of wolves, lynx and bears – almost half
the European population of Brown bears is recorded in the Carpathian
Mountains. Meanwhile, dense forests have remained largely untouched. Our days
are spent on walks through spectacular canyons, virgin forests and Saxon
villages. We go in search of Brown bears and explore the mediaeval town of
Brasov as well as Bran castle, best known as the residence of Count Dracula.
