What you need to know
- Book tickets online up to 10 days ahead, since each tour has limited places and the ticket office can't guarantee any
- Morning guided tours only, in English or Romanian, with no self-guided entry and the gate closed every Monday
- Hiking shoes and water, because the forest trail is uneven in places and tours go ahead in rain
About
Libearty is a 69-hectare forest near Zărnești where brown bears rescued from cages on restaurant terraces and chains at gas stations now live with pools, streams and trees to climb.
It is not a zoo: visitors walk a 2 km forest trail with a guide who tells each bear's story while the bears roam behind the fence. Best for kids who can stay quiet on a long walk.
