Welcome to the Tarcu Mountains

In the hearth of the Southern Carpathians Landscape

Step into the heart of untamed wilderness with our unforgettable Bison Tracking Tour! Nestled in the picturesque villages at the foothills of the Tarcu Mountains, this adventure invites you to experience nature like never before. Imagine standing at the edge of pristine meadows and untouched forests, where every whisper of the wind and rustle of the leaves tells a story of the majestic European bison.

We are located in the western side of Romania, in the Tarcu and Cernei Mountains and the Retezat area, making us conveniently close to the border. We are just three hours away driving from the Hungarian border and only two hours from one of Romania’s largest airports, Timișoara. This accessibility ensures that your journey to our starting point is as seamless as the adventure itself.

Join us as we explore the vast hills and meadows, observing these incredible creatures in their natural habitat. Along the way, you’ll witness firsthand the positive impact of Rewinding in the area: from supporting local communities and fostering a circular economy to promoting sustainable tourism. This is more than just wildlife observation—it’s a journey into conservation, community, and the revival of nature’s balance

What do our customers say?

Southern Carpathians were a big surprise. An unknown area for me in which we met huge mountains, amazing views, bears, lynx, pristine forests and lots of charming and welcoming people. The acommodations were cozy, authentic and comfortable and we had different nature and gastronomic experiences that were amazing. I really recommend it.

Having our rewilding nature guide on our side during the whole walk gave so many insights about the bison, so that, even if we could not spot them in the end, we embraced them. What they eat, how they attack trees for various reasons, how they hide and silently blend into the landscape. It's not your usual wildlife watching experience: I call it wildlife feeling instead, because if you learn how to feel, you are connected to them through your senses and imagination.

One of the highlights of our time in Rusca was a bison tracking experience in the mountains. It was both fascinating and educational as we observed the positive impact these majestic animals have on their environment and discovered many signs of their presence. Our adventure culminated in a delightful picnic near an old shepherd hut high in the mountains, where we enjoyed delicious local food amidst the serene wilderness.
