The bear observatory in Kuvaszó is located 8.5 km away from Filia, in the quiet valley of Tiatal-Kuvaszó, at mid distance between the Villa of the former communist president Ceaușescu and the Almási Cave, at an altitude of 650 m. The observatory and the small clearing in front of it are surrounded by a dense fir forest and old beech trees that rise up to the sky like silver candles. Depending on the weather and the season, the area of the observatory is visited by various species of animals every day, from wild birds, to small and large game. There are woodpeckers, songbirds, birds of prey, furry predators, large predators and cloven-footed animals. All of these make the visitor’s experience unforgettable. During the observation sessions, the experienced personnel ensure proper safety and provide professional explanations. The bear observatory has had a long history of bringing joy both to children and to young and elderly visitors. It's easy to get to the bear observatory, therefore even people with motor disabilities or limited mobility can enjoy it.
