ALL YEAR ACTIVITIES
Wild animal observatory in the Călimani National Park
Because going wild is part of the experience, at Haita Land!
A little hut, hidden in the forest, with no electricity and a small fire stove to keep you warm during the night is waiting in the depths of the Călimani National Park. The Observatory is placed in an easily accessible spot, where you will have a high chance of seeing the wildlife that populates this forest: wolf, bear, fox or whatever the forest decides to show you.
You will be on your own for this experience, so you are responsible for your own safety!
If you see a large and potentially dangerous wild animal, do not try to draw its attention to you!
Do not, under any circumstances, leave food outside of the hut!

Forest Awakening Tour
Have you ever experienced the forest waking up?
At 4 AM, the forest sleeps, but its wildlife does not. You will walk in complete darkness, deep silence, wondering if there is a bear somewhere nearby. Or a wolf, or a deer, or even a fox. Maybe you’ll hear a twig breaking. Or maybe you’ll hear nothing at all. And then, slowly, the forest will start to wake up: a few birds will sing their song, timidly. Then the sun rays will slowly make their way through the trees, with a little mist rising from the ground. By 6 AM, the forest is engulfed in a spring rhapsody, and all of your senses are awakened. You can feel a thrill of the unknown, you can smell the earth, you can see the mist and you can hear the birds. And that’s how the forest wakes up – and your senses wake up with it.
- Fee: 200 RON
- Activity duration: 3-4 hours
- Season: Spring
Wildlife Tour
Where the mountains hold their breath and the trees stand witness, the true art of wilderness unfolds in fleeting glimpses of untamed life.
From the mesmerizing courtship dance of the wild mountain rooster in spring to the haunting calls of deer in their autumn mating season, nature offers a rare spectacle for those patient enough to watch and listen. As the night deepens, the elusive wolves roam their territories, while foxes move like shadows through the trees—silent, majestic.
This experience is an invitation to step into their world, guided by experts who understand their rhythms. A chance to witness wildlife in its rawest form, in a land where nature still reigns.
