We escaped! At the same time, we also saved the Bucharest /London subway from the BOMB. It was a fun team time, with smartly placed clues and interesting puzzles that were design to showoff a multitude of skills that each clever team has. Will gladly come back to try the other rooms. Andra monitored our game and her assistance was spot-on. Thank you :)

7. Peasant Fortified Church at Prejmer
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 233 reviews
Reviewed By Crvan - Weston, United States
This UNESCO site is a must visit when in Transylvania. It is one of the few fortified churches of its kind; especially in the great condition it is in. The church was erected in the early 1200's and this type of architecture and design was typical of that era as the towns were centered around the local church. If invaders were coming, the inhabitants of the area, who normally lived outside the church fortifications, would take refuge inside the church behind its fortifications. The walls were about 5 meters thick with further towers and battle stations to fend off the enemy. In the interior, there were rooms built to accommodate the people, storage for food and other items. The church itself was built in the middle of the circular fortified wall with a little green space. A very unique build but the church was not captured very many times over the centuries due to its impressive build and fortifications. Another must see in Transylvania.

If you are a walker and have a good head for heights this is a fabulous walk. After a hike up through the woods crossing the stream on slippy log bridges, the ladders take you up through the gorge beside and above the waterfalls. The biggest ladder is about 12 metres more or less vertically.
9. Libearty Bear Sanctuary Zarnesti

Libearty Bear Sanctuary is the biggest brown bear sanctuary from Europeand has the largest surface in the world. Here, 75 bears found a nice home in this 5 stars welfare facility. Here you can see happy bears in their natural environment, after a bad life in circuses and zoo cages. The tours are guided by trained animal welfare experts and the visitors can see brown bears really close.
Reviewed By D2271HHlouisef - Amsterdam, The Netherlands
This was the highlight of my visit to Romania. It was absolutely amazing to see brown bears so close up. We watched a video at the start which was heart breaking, as it showed the treatment of the bears before they arrived at Libearty. After the video, it was even more special to see the bears outside playing. They now have loads of space to roam. There are also deer, donkeys and wolves at Liberty, though the bears are the main attraction. This isn’t a zoo so there are some rules in place for the comfort of the bears. For example, you must stay with the group at all times and be quiet. The staff were apologetic when enforcing these rules and were extremely polite. There’s a gift shop where you can adopt a bear and buy souvenirs. For such a small shop, they had a good selection to choose from (magnets, teddy bears, pens, T-shirts, etc). Note that no children under 5 are allowed. This is clearly stated on the website, but one man was very rude about it on the day when his kids were refused. This rule is for the children’s own safety and to be honest, I imagine it to be pretty distressing for them to watch the video about the treatment of the bears. I’m so glad Libearty exists and thank everyone involved for their work with the bears ????????

Preserved and maintained extremely well. A self guided tour takes you through the grounds, the church and even the tower for a great vista of the grounds and surrounding countryside. Well worth a visit.
