Spend an entire day full of adventures right in the heart of the Land of Volcanoes, situated just 70 kilometres from Brasov. You will be taken by car or minivan (for groups of more than 4 people please contact us) to the only volcanic lake in Romania, visit a mysterious swamp where carnivorous plants live (the swamp reservation is open from mid-spring to mid-autumn) and take a stroll through the forest to the biggest natural gas bath in Europe - the Puturosu Cave (The Smelly Cave). End the day with a thrilling bear watching experience that you will surely remember - don't forget to take your camera with you! In the end you will be taken back to Brasov.
You will be picked up from your hotel situated in Brasov and taken by car or minivan (for groups of more than 4 people please contact us) to 70 kilometres from Brasov, to lake Sfana Ana (St. Anna Lake), the only volcanic crater lake in Romania, formed around 8.800 - 9.800 years ago. You will discover its beauty in a 30-minute easy walk around the 220,000 m2 area. You will also visit the Mohos Peat Bog (open from spring to mid autumn), where you have the chance to see hallucinogenic and carnivorous plants and a volcanic landscape.
After a short transfer by car, you will go on a 30 minutes hike up to the Puturosu Cave (The Smelly Cave), the biggest natural gas bath in Europe. Back at the car you can have lunch in a nearby restaurant (lunch not included) and enjoy the wonderful scenery.
The highlight of the trip comes in the afternoon, when you will go deep in the forest with an experienced ranger and see the Carpathian brown bears in their natural habitat. Once arrived in the safe bear hide, taste a shot of palinka (traditional Hungarian spirit) and wait for the bears to come just a few metres in front of you. Because the bear hide is specially built, the bears cannot see you through the windows and you can take amazing photos of them.
When you are over, head back to the car and you will be taken back to Brasov and dropped off at your hotel.
