Bison Land

Traveling near Neamţ entails passing through secular woods, prominent monasteries and hermitages distributed across the highlands, monastic communities, and medieval historical sites. You may also view the fabled bison, which was reintroduced into the natural habitat more than two centuries after it went extinct in the wild. Currently, more than 50 bison wander freely across the land's secular woods.

If you visit the 180-hectare acclimatization enclosure near the Visitor Centre of the Vânători-Neamț Natural Park, you will have a one-of-a-kind interaction with bison. Vânători-Neamţ Nature Park in Neamţ County is the only place in Europe where the bison, Moldavia's heraldic symbol and the continent's largest land animal, can be seen in three different habitats: in the wilderness, in the forest, in semi-freedom, in the acclimatization enclosure at the "Bisons Management Centre", and in the Park's zoo. And you will not be alone; rangers will accompany you as you follow in the footsteps of Europe's biggest terrestrial mammal. Be a result, you'll realize why the renowned bison is referred to as an "architect" of landscapes. Not only that, but Bison Land has been the sole sustainable tourist destination in Romania for years, out of the 100 selected worldwide, in acknowledgment of efforts to conserve the area's cultural and ecological value.

"Bison Land" has already become a preferred location for practicing sustainable tourism based on the preservation and promotion of the local natural, cultural, and spiritual heritage, as well as the uniform distribution of tourist intensity in space, primarily by promoting the inextricable link between nature and spirituality.
