Nature-based tours and educational trips,
and what else CNTOURS offers to you:
and what else CNTOURS offers to you:
- Hiking and nature adventure trips (all year)
- Wildlife viewing (bear watching)
(on request) Bear watching takes place from late afternoon to evening. We use a closed hide in the forest and are accompanied by an authorized ranger for safety reasons.
Since it is very unlikely to see bears during a hike, observation from a hide in the forest is an appropriate form of wildlife observation. We put some delicacies out for the bears which are not more than 5 % of their daily nutritional needs.
Photography is possible, however only without flash or AF-light. The price per person is 50,- € (adults) and 40,- € (children 10 – 15 yrs).
The area is restricted for children under 10 years! bear watching - Courses with the forest ranger

Or you travel to the Maramures in the north-western Romania, for visiting one of the last forest railways in Europe: the Mocăniţa in Vaser Valley.
