Kormos Residence was one of the villas of the dictator, who was also notorious for his hunting. It is no wonder that the Cormoș Valley from Filia also offers bear watching among its programs. This is a real adventure at the foot of Southern Harghita mountains. You can set off on a journey of discovery led by a qualified forester. On the edge of the quiet forest clearing, there is a small hut that provides adequate security for watching the true masters of the wilderness. The experience affects all your senses and the moment will be inscribed in your unforgettable memories… The Cormoș bear watching is a special encounter with nature that you will take with you forever!

…we built a hut for humans to see the bears in their natural habitat. The Carpathians in Romania give home to over 45% of Europe's bear population. Over the centuries Transylvanian people lived with the bear in a certain balance. Nowadays the bear is still very much there, he uses The Wild Carpathians as his habitat. We created an access where we can take part in moments of his life. We are upkeeping two different Bear Watchings, one in Zabola directly connected to the castle park and one in Bükszád, one hour-drive away from Zabola. The bear watching program lasts about 3-4 hours, it costs 120 euro/2 pax, any additional person is charged with 15 euro (up to 9 people). Transport, camp fire and drinks included.

Hungarians have a saying that "The bear is not a toy". Well, it's true. Even if bears sometimes look friendly and playful, they are wild animals, so it is strictly forbidden to make selfies with them! Fortunately, there is the possibility to observe them in their natural habitat, even more, we can photograph them.  The wildlife observatory was designed by the world-wide-known wildlife photographer, Bence Máté, to provide the possibility for nature lovers to enjoy the closeness of bears without anybody being hurt (neither the man, nor the animal). - location: near by the Saint Anne Lake, walking distance 400 m  - pre-registration: required  - designed for: wild life photographers, tourists  - seasonal: open all year  - duration: 2-2,5 hours (2 hours before sunset)  - nr. of seats: 45  - photo consitions: great  - comfort: great  - recommended photo lens: 200-500 mm  - recommended clothing: according to season, dark top, rain jacket  - price: 140 lei/pax (with money-back guarantee in case you have not seen any bear)
