• We leave the hustle of Bucharest behind and, after a pleasant drive, we take a relaxing coffee and snack break in historic Curtea de Argeș. As we travel along the winding mountain road, we’ll stop to admire the dramatic ruins of Poenari Citadel perched high on the cliffs above. We do not vist this castle. Next, we cross the impressive Vidraru Dam, where breathtaking views of the emerald lake unfold right before your eyes. From here, our path winds up through the raw, wild beauty of Făgăraș National Park all the way to Hotel Capra. Surrounded by dramatic peaks at high altitude, we’ll stop for a delicious local lunch, enjoy some snow fun and sledding, and take a short, refreshing hike through the winter wonderland. On our journey back, we’ll pause for photo stops along the way to capture the magical scenery. To crown the day, we’ll visit the magnificent Curtea de Argeș Cathedral—the final resting place of Romania’s royal family—before making our comfortable way back to central Bucharest.
• This tour covers a distance of 480 km, of which 280 km are on the highway.
• Bear sightings are most common between May and September along roads, streets, and hiking trails. Starting in October, as mountain temperatures drop below 0°C (during the night), bears enter their dens for hibernation, so encounters on the streets stop. Therefore, bears can only be seen during the warm season
