Welcome back to our Romanian road trip series! Today we are back on the road and visiting Brasov, Rasnov, and the world's largest bear sanctuary!

Our first stop of the day is at Libearty Bear Sanctuary, the world's largest bear sanctuary. The tour began with a heartbreaking short video explaining why this sanctuary was started and their future goals. Romania is home to 60 percent of Europe’s brown bear population and Libearty has rescued over 130 bears from an abusive life in small cages. Many of them were kept behind bars near restaurants, hotels, and gas stations as tourist attractions. Most of these bears are unable to return to the wilderness because they have spent their entire life in captivity. It was a sad and eye opening tour but definitely a place worth supporting!

We continued on to visit Rasnov Fortress. It is set high on the hilltop above the quaint town of Rasnov.The fortress has a great medieval feel and also offers a funicular ride to get up the very steep hill.

Since our Airbnb was located in Brasov, we decided to explore it at the end of the day after we had checked in. Brasov is an incredibly charming and historical city. We would say it is an excellent place to base yourself when you visit the Transylvanian region!

Thanks for watching! We would love for you to like, comment, and subscribe if you enjoyed this video!
