Based in the village of Măgura, in the heart of the Piatra Craiului National Park, this small ecotourism agency was created in 1999 as part of a project to protect large carnivores.

You can, for example, go to observe brown bears in one of the caches set up in the forests, or visit the Saxon towns and villages of Transylvania. Hermann is himself of Saxon origin.
