Approx. 40-45% of Europe's brown bear population lives in the Romanian Carpathian forests. A significant part of this population is to be found in Szeklerland's forests. The mountains surrounding Gheorgheni are a good example for those who want to see a bear, there is a great chance one will, if that is also OK with the bears involved. During this silent, but eventful bear watching apart from having the chance too take pictures of the animals, participants have the chance to acquire detailed information about the habits of bears, their life, and of course local anecdotes related to the bears cannot miss from the info-package. The tours start in the late afternoon at a pre-arranged meeting place, where off-road vehicles transport the participants to the observation posts.

At the end of the program participants have the possibility to enjoy the taste of a rustic dinner.

Canyoning and gorge walking are very similar adventure-sports. Usually gorge walking does not require any rope-technique: you wade in the water of the bed of the brook, you stroll from a stone to a stone, then you climb smaller rocks, jump off from waterfalls. We talk about canyoning, when at some sections of the canyon we meet such waterfalls, from which we need to abseil with rope-technique. 

In the Lacul Roşu (The Red Lake)-Cheile Bicazului region an excellent ground for adventurous gorge walking is the rocky bed of the Bicajel and Lăpuşului gorge. For canyoning the best ground is the upper section of the rarely beaten, extremely narrow and spectacular Pârâul Sec, which can only be passed with the help of an experienced guide and rope-technique.

The region's most popular and most visited cave is the Sugău cave (Peştera Sugău), situated in the Giurgeului Mountains, where according to their pretensions, the volunteers can take part in tours with different difficulties.

Only the Sugau cave, the Munticelul cave and the Licos shaft cave is open for tourists. The rest of the caves are  closed and protected by the National Parc.

The geological circumstances of the Lacul Roşu (The Red Lake)-Cheile Bicazului region favoured the formation of the caves. Owing to this, there are numerous stalactite and shaft caves, among which the most important are:

a.) Peştera Kotej (Kotej-Cave): it is situated in that part of the Hăşmaşul Negru, which looks in the direction of  Bicajel, 1240 metres height above sea level. The cave is 87 metres long, in which we can see interesting pillars covered with lublinite.

b.) Hăşmaşul Negru shaft cave: it is situated in that ridge of the Hăşmaşul Negru, which slopes towards the Trei Fântâni, 1250 metres height above sea level. One of its shafts, filled with snow, is 10 metres deep, the other one is 20 metres deep. On the side of the cave there is a dripstone-flow.

c.) Telecu Mare shaft cave: it is situated eastwards from the Poiana Albă, northwards from the Telecu Mare peak, 1650 metres height above sea level. The shaft cave begins with a 20 metres deep shaft, which is closed by a heap of snow. From here it starts an 8 metres long, mildly sloping passage, which leads to an other 9 metres long shaft, and to its bottom it slopes a narrow, clayish passage.

d.) Peştera Tolvaj (Tolvaj cave) : it is situated in that part of the Szakadat peak, which looks in the direction of Năşcălat, 1200 metres height above sea level. It is a 50 metres deep tectonical cave, adorned with dripstone-flows.

e.) Licoş shaft cave: this legendary cave opens on the top of the Licoş peak. Its complete length is 50 metres, and it is divided into three, well separable parts. At its mouth the cave's diameter is 8 metres long, at its narrowest part it is 3 metres long, and at its bottom it is 9 metres long. At the bottom of a 34 metres long aven there is a 3 metres long ice-jam. In summer next to this ice-jam it forms a narrow opening, and through this you can get down to the lower cave, which depth is 17 metre and it is closed by debris.

f.) The tectonical caves of the Vitoş peak: the Vitoş peak is situated northwards from the Pângăraţ pass above the Putna stream. On its eastern side it opens three shaft caves, whose depth is more than 10 metres.

g.) The caves of the Cheile Bicazului: in the cliffs of the Lacul Roşu (The Red Lake)-Cheile Bicazului are 51 caves kept in evidence. Most of them are hard accesible, smaller caves, without any special dripstone. The longest caves are situated in the Peretele Bardosului opposite the Maria source, like the Peştera Bardosul (-141m), Peştera Cascada (-69), Peştera Flacăra (-242).

h.) Munticel-cave: it is situated in the eastern side of the Munticel rocks. This 40 metres long and 20 metres broad cave was discovered in 1973.

Come with us to deer watch! In autumn, when the stags are fighting for the favor of females, listening to their roar is in itself a memorable experience. We have a chance to hear their presence from a distance, even approach them and with a little luck see a few of them together.

During the autumn, the szekler mountains and forests are loud by disturbing yet wildly beautiful roars. The deer wedding, as is called among the hunters, takes place once a year and then all nature falls silent to listen to the stags, whom with their raised antlered heads press out from their chests the eerie and yet stunningly beautiful mating roars.

The program is organized upon request. The participants are transported to the observation place by off-road vehicles, where a snack of wild game meats accompanied with the traditional pálinka will be served.

The program takes place at dawn and in the evening between:

05:00 - 9:00

and

19:00 -23:00 hours

Come with us to discover the wildlife of the Land of Volcanoes. Our guide is a local specialist who knows every tiny corner of this land of fairytales.

The program includes a snack of wild game meats accompanied with the traditional pálinka. The participants will be transported with all terrain vehicles to the location of the watch.

You’ll have the chance to observe wild animals like bears, wild boars, foxes, badgers or even wolfs in their own habitat. The program is taking place between 19:00 - 23:00. 

Lacu Roşu-Gorge of Bicaz has the potential to become one of the most important rock-climbing paradise in Central Europe. The microregion is surely one of the most important rock-climbing terrain in the country. Made up from limestone, developed as a result of erosion and tectonic plates movements, the landscape becoming the perfect rock climbing spots.

The rock-climbing tradition in the area dates back to the beginning of the last century. A few climbers from abroad came to the area who climbed the imposing Altar-stone in the upper section of the gorge. In the next few decades dozens of rock-climbing routes were arranged, and The Gorge served as the venue for several rock climbing competitions. This thriving rock climbing life in the Gorge fell slightly starting from the turn of the century, but is now starting to regain popularity once again, proof of this are the multitude of sport climbing routes (about 100-120)  recently arranged in addition to the classic rock-climbing routes.

Most of the climbing routes are classic climbing routes, to access them you have to climb up some potions  with the help of ladders. The sport climbing routes are 20-40 m in length, some ranging from lighter (6a) to difficult (8c) variations.

Airsoft originates in Japan. Airsoft guns spread to the UK in the late 1980s with a company called LS. The guns were sold in pieces and had to be assembled before they were capable of firing pellets. Airsoft equipment was designed to closely emulate real guns. Since the mid-1980s, airsoft guns have been adapted with a purely recreational application in mind, and the sport is enjoyed by all ages. Airsoft replicas are produced globally, with the majority being manufactured in Asia. Many law enforcement agencies in the US use Airsoft for force-on-force training drills

Airsoft is a game in which participants eliminate opponents by hitting each other with spherical non-metallic pellets launched via replica firearms called Airsoft guns.
