This page is only for arranging a licensed forest bear-watching session (hide or guided margin watch) — not for visiting Libearty or reading general bear facts. Wild brown bears live throughout the forests around Zărnești; responsible operators use fixed hides with strict silence rules and small groups. Wildlife is never guaranteed.
This is different from a daytime visit to the Libearty Bear Sanctuary, which is a rescue centre you can visit independently. Bear watching here means evening or dawn sessions in the forest with a guide.
Safety and rules
Guides set meeting points away from the cabin track. Flash photography, food and scent-heavy perfume are usually prohibited. Children may have minimum age limits. We pass your enquiry to operators who hold the required permits for their hides.

Frequently asked
- Will we definitely see a bear?
- No ethical operator can promise sightings. Success rates vary by season, weather and forest activity. You are paying for a licensed, guided observation attempt.
- What should we bring?
- Warm, quiet layers (evenings are cold), binoculars if you have them, and patience. The operator will confirm exact kit and pick-up location.
