Set in the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains in Transylvania, this sanctuary currently homes over 100 mistreated and abused bears. Rescued from cramped cages and tourist attractions, these bears can now enjoy freedom in the stunning sanctuary. Volunteers mainly help with food preparation and other ad hoc sanctuary tasks, watched over by the bears. Day trips for school groups are available.
The people living here have no opportunity to participate in gardening activities because most of them live in apartment blocks between four and ten stories high and have no access to green spaces. However, the desire for such spaces is great, which is why this project was launched to create a community garden that everyone can enjoy and take part in.
A perfect opportunity for families with teenagers! Volunteer at a bear sanctuary in Romania where rescued bears, wolves, and other animals find refuge. Work side by side with your family preparing food for the bears, then explore the wild outdoors—from treetop views to Dracula’s Castle—in an unforgettable cultural experience. Maximum family size is 5.
