Brasov & Zarnesti area
In the centre of Romania, inside the elbow of the Transylvanian Carpathians are located Piatra Craiului National Park and the town of Zarnesti, near Brasov city. This is where the Carpathian Large Carnivore Project was located for 10 years and where the “core” activities of our travel agency take place. Zarnesti is the main gate to Piatra Craiului National Park, a former industrial town with amazing touristic resources. In Zarnesti we collaborate mainly with two guesthouses (2* Mosorel and 3* Elena guesthouse). They are both very comfortable, with ensuite bathrooms, and the hosts are warm, with excellent cooking skills and tasty home distilled liquors. They are very flexible in terms of the time when food is served (very necessary especially for the wildlife watching activities that take place very early in the morning and late in the evening).

Brasov is one of the most important towns of Romania, being voted two years in a row the most beautiful town in Romania.

Close to Brasov is one of the best bear hides and the boar hide we use with very high rate of success.
