Itinerary description
|
During the tour, we will find typical landscapes at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains, a region rich in vegetation and forests.
The route is not entirely observational, as it also includes interactive programs, such as a visit to the petting zoo, the farm and the fishing ponds.
The tour can be done with your own bike, but we also have an offer to rent one. We offer electric bikes, which provide an exciting new opportunity to explore easier and more difficult terrain in an environmentally friendly way. Thanks to the help, we get less tired on the climbs, we can cover longer distances and we can concentrate on admiring the environment. Furthermore, this creates opportunities for a broader age group and less trained people to participate.
We have chosen this outdoor leisure route for the reason that we believe that it is enriched with educational content that highlights the environmental and cultural values of the area. Likewise, we see its possibility of being profitable as a tourist product or service.
During our trip, our intention is to provide a highly intense emotional experience, with pleasant, enriching and participatory leisure time. The singularity resides in the fact that there is no similar route in the area, where the active and sporty character joins the observation of animals.
The area is considered very rich in terms of animal life, and since people in today's society no longer have such a close relationship with nature and animals as before, it would still be worth studying and learning about these animals in order to be able to maintain awareness.
Therefore, this would be our central theme for the trip, to use these tourist resources that generate attraction in the area in a sustainable and educational way.

Granja
Durante el recorrido, visitamos una granja específico, llamada ,,esztena'', donde podemos aprender sobre la tradición de la cría de animales nómadas que aún hoy sigue viva en toda Transilvania.
La palabra ,,esztena'' significa la residencia de verano de las ovejas bajo la montaña. Aquí los animales de ovejas, cabras y vacas pastan libremente, y de sus leche, se elaboran deliciosos quesos y ,,urdă'' (un tipo de queso hecho de suero de leche), que se considera una especialidad local. Estos rebaños son custodiados por el pastor y los perros. El estilo de vida tradicional del pastor, la estrecha convivencia con la naturaleza y los animales, las bellezas y dificultades de la vida en la montaña se nos revelan en su sencilla realidad cotidiana.
Aquí aprendemos sobre el ordeño manual de los animales, así como también aprendemos los secretos de la elaboración de varios quesos y requesón de oveja, y también participamos en una degustación de los mismos, que consumimos con un té elaborado con hierbas locales.
During the tour, we visit a specific farm, called ,,esztena'', where we can learn about the tradition of nomadic animal husbandry that is still alive today throughout Transylvania.
The word ,,esztena'' means the summer residence of the sheep under the mountain. Here animals of sheep, goats and cows graze freely, and from their milk, delicious cheeses and ,,urdă'' (a type of cheese made from whey) are made, which is considered a local specialty. These herds are guarded by the shepherd and the dogs. The traditional lifestyle of the shepherd, the close coexistence with nature and animals, the beauties and difficulties of life in the mountains are revealed to us in their simple daily reality.
Here we learn about the manual milking of the animals, as well as learn the secrets of making various cheeses and sheep's cottage cheese, and we also participate in a tasting of these, which we consume with a tea made with local herbs.

Durante el diseño, el objetivo principal fue preservar el carácter natural del paisaje y proteger la flora y fauna acuática y terrestre.
Aquí se puede pescar y acampar, pero también es posible comer pescado fresco como alimento saludable.

En el zoológico animales acariciables, niños y adultos se pueden acariciar y alimentar animales domésticos simples (cabras, conejos), animales salvajes del bosque (corzos, ciervos) y animales no autóctonos (alpacas).

Observatorio de Osos
La observación de osos no es más que examinar los osos en su entorno natural, desde un edificio seguro, cerrado con grandes ventanas.
Los animales no suelen estar en el lugar, solo cuando se les da de comer, por lo que puedes acercarte con seguridad a la pequeña casa de madera con tu bicicleta. Luego cuando llegamos allí, la persona a cargo coloca comida en el lugar y los llama, y luego de una breve espera salen los osos. Hay que estar muy callado durante toda la observación, porque los animales pueden salir corriendo al menor ruido.
Más información en el sitio web del Observatorio de Osos.
Bear watching is nothing more than examining bears in their natural environment, from a secure, enclosed building with large windows.
The animals are not usually on site, only when they are fed, so you can safely approach the small wooden house with your bike. Then when we get there, the person in charge places food on the spot and calls them, and after a short wait the bears come out. You have to be very quiet during the whole observation, because the animals can run away at the slightest noise.
