Bear watching tours along the Transfăgărășan have gained popularity, offering scenic views and wildlife encounters. However, experts warn of significant risks associated with close interactions between tourists and bears. Prices for these tours vary, starting from around 400 lei, with private tours costing more. Despite the allure of observing bears, specialists emphasize the dangers of feeding and approaching these wild animals, which can lead to dangerous situations. Authorities have implemented strict regulations against feeding bears, with fines reaching up to 30,000 lei. Tourists are advised to admire wildlife from a safe distance to ensure both their safety and the well-being of the animals.
