A cold morning fog lifts from the mixed beech and spruce that fringe the sanctuary as the van eases onto a gravel lane; beyond the fence, low growls and the thump of heavy paws carry across a green valley. The Brown Bear Sanctuary near Zărnești is a 69-hectare refuge where rescued bears roam ponds, forest glades, and reclaim a rhythm closer to the wild.
