Wildlife Tour in the Carpathians and
Birdwatching in the Danube Delta
Explore the least known Carpathian Mountains looking for signs of bears and wolves. Watch many rare species of birds in the Danube Delta, where even Jean Jacques Cousteau was charmed by the beauty of the unspoilt landscape.
You will explore the massifs of Bucegi and Piatra Craiului, which are part of the South-Eastern Carpathians. While you are exploring the forest and mountain tracks looking for signs of bears, wolves, lynx, red deer and wild boar, there will also be wonderful opportunities to meet with shepherds, farmers and foresters.
The Carpathian Mountains are among the least spoilt mountains in Europe, the large expanses of forests of the Romanian Carpathians are home to the “Big Five” of European fauna: Wolf, Brown Bear, Red Deer, Lynx and Wild Boar. Each of the large predator species among them form the largest population of their kind in Europe, west of Russia.
Piatra Craiului National Park has been the base of a research and conservation project focused on wolves, bears and lynx – the Carpathian Large Carnivore Project (CLCP) – for more than 10 years.CLCP ended its research in 2003, but their work in the area proved to be invaluable for the further development of ecotourism in Romania.
