A short scenic road leads from the main road to the reserve parking lot. You buy the tickets in the main building after entering the gate. The toilet are right beside the main gate. There is a 10 minute walk on a wide path from the entrance to the yard where the bisons are living. On the yard there is a 100m fence where you can walk and see this huge beast. It is a refreshing stop on the high way, very short visit there is not much to do there. Tickets were 7 Lei for adult and 5 Lei for a kid.

Rezervatia de zimbrii Hateg Vizita pe care am facut-o acum vreo 2 luni, intr-o zi de toamna tarzie, dar superba. Am ajuns la destinatie trecand print-un peisaj cu totul mirific si-un curcubeu minunat de culori, pe un drum foarte bun (de la drumul principal la rezervatie) o portiune de “sosea” asfaltata, putin ingusta. Dupa vreo 3 km, am ajuns la destinatie, unde se afla o cabanuta draguta, din care ne-a intampinat doua doamne dragute cu un zambet larg, foarte amabile. Cu toate ca era aproape de ora inchiderii, au spus ca ne asteapta pana terminam vizita. Toul era minunat in lumina apusului de soare, iar minunatele animale de-o greutate apreciabila, stateau si ne priveau si rumegau linistite. Cred ca erau obisnuite de multimea de vizitatori care-i observau si le facea zilnic poze. Aratau impozante, iar puiutii erau nemaipomeniti. Aratau bine ingrijite, poate putin apatice, dar nu-i prea vad alergand pe pajiste la greutatea lor. Totul a fost minunat si ar trebui sa vizitam aceste animale care sunt frumoase si merita vazute mai ales ca nu stim cat timp vor mai fi printre noi. Merita sa va faceti si voi timp pentru o astfel de vizita, sa le aratam copiilor si nepotilor o specie care a dominat padurile de foioase din Europa medievala si este posibil sa dispara. Eu si sotia cel putin vom mai reveni, am ramas foarte frumos impresionati de frumosii zimbrii, de peisaj, de aerul curat, de tot.

A short walk through the trees. The bisons are well taken care of. There is a small one and a young one, the rest are all adults. They seem to enjoy the grass and the young ones tend to run around. The road that leads here is narrow and only one car fits on it, so from place to place there are like small "parking spaces" and you can get around the other cars that are headed in the opposite way. There are 1-2 places with potholes, so be careful.

Wonderful place, well organized, clean and quiet, in the middle of nature, easy access from the main road, very friendly with animals, families with children, nature lovers. Paved road (asphalt) for 800 m from the gate and parking to the ranch of bisons, toilets at the gate, clean with running water, accessible for the whole year, good visibility of the wild beasts, observation decks solid and accessible for everybody (except for wheelchairs).

A must see. 7 superb animals, friendly and peacefully living their lives in one of the rarest places in Europe and in the entire world. If you are lucky some will come close to the fence where they usually get apples from visitors. Bisons are impressive in size, with an incredible ease of mobility. When I visited in July 2018 there were 6 adults and 1 baby bison. Hopefully, in time their number will grow. I really want that to happen.
