Tărâmul cerbilor
A tourist domain located in the heart of nature, among the deer of Gorj, inspired by local tradition and Romanian fairy tales.
Here, nature weaves fairy tales.
In this green kingdom of hundreds of hectares, the deer is your guide between two worlds. In the seen world, it leads you on hidden paths towards the creatures of the forest. In the unseen world, it opens the gate to the magic and wisdom of Romanian fairy tales.
VISION & MISION
What challenged us
We live in a hurried world, defined by screens and disconnection. We believe that returning to Romanian traditions, experienced in the middle of nature, is the perfect antidote to the modern identity crisis.
What we aim for
In the forests of Gorj, among the local wildlife, to bring local stories to life. We have created a place where adults regain their balance, and children discover valuable lessons that neither school nor technology can offer.
Where we aim to be
To build a landmark destination. We aim to become a source of inspiration and a model of prosperity, by valuing the heritage and actively involving the local community.
Through intense and sustained effort, Tărâmul Cerbilor is transforming day by day into a major destination.
The domain is already a vibrant place, with functional facilities on site, developed based on a vision shaped by a multidisciplinary team (architects, international hospitality experts, and brand specialists) to create a tourist ecosystem in harmony with nature.
FACILITIES
A realm for everyone, from a day trip to a holiday
Whether you choose a short day escape, a relaxing weekend, or an extended holiday in the middle of nature, the facilities we have created are designed to bring joy to everyone. From families with children, to couples dreaming of a fairy-tale beginning, to companies looking for a unique setting for corporate events and teambuildings.
Culture & Events
The Gate
At the Welcome Center, you will find the first information about our realm. It is the space where you familiarize yourself with the map and concept of the domain, select the services you are interested in, and plan your experiences. Here you can also rent bicycles or electric vehicles to start exploring the entire domain.
Artisan Market
Under the protective canopy of the entrance area, local artisans and producers from Gorj exhibit their creations. It is the place where you can participate in workshops and seasonal fairs, taste authentic local products, and connect with the community spirit.
The Event Barn
A modern reinterpretation of the traditional Oltenian barn, with a visible wooden structure and wide openings to the garden. This elegant barn is dedicated to private events, fairy-tale weddings, and banquets, offering a flexible festive setting deeply connected to vernacular architecture.
St. Eustace Chapel
A small vernacular-style wooden church, under the patronage of Saint Eustace, the protector of the entire domain, the forests, and the hunters. Legend has it that general Placidus (the future St. Eustace) found the path of faith right in the middle of a hunt, spotting a luminous cross between the antlers of a stag. Thus, the deer became the messenger that changed his destiny, just as nature here aims to change the state of mind of our guests.
The Performance Arena
An open-air amphitheater where history and Romanian fairy tales are brought to the stage. Thematic shows with actors, horses, and birds of prey take place here, offering visitors an immersive and emotionally rich cultural experience.
Gastronomy & Social
Bistro
A friendly meeting space that combines the warmth of a traditional inn with a bright contemporary design. Strategically located between the play area and the event barn, here you can enjoy quick meals made with local ingredients or cool off on the terrace open to the landscape.
Wine House
Located next to the domain’s 10-hectare vineyard, the cellar is a space dedicated to tastings and social events. Here you can discover local wines and participate in grape harvesting in the autumn, inside a building that combines stone and wood to create an intimate and authentic atmosphere.
Sunset Bar
Positioned on a western promontory, this bar is the domain’s lodge for nature’s spectacle. It is the perfect place to enjoy a cocktail at sunset, with a panoramic view over the valleys and the wooded hills of Gorj.
Accommodation
Forest Nests
The premium accommodation area (Ecolodge & Chalets) where the architecture blends into the landscape. The individual chalets, set on the edge of a watercourse, offer terraces with heated hot tubs from where you can quietly observe the deer and roe deer crossing the glades.
The Lodge
The existing lodge, renovated to offer modern comfort while preserving its historical charm. With 10 rooms, a wine cellar, and a dining room, it functions as an exclusive space for groups seeking privacy and a connection with the place’s past.
Forest Valley Glamping
The experience of sleeping under the open sky without giving up comfort. The glamping units are located around the 35,000 sqm lake, offering intimate spaces for couples or families. The area features modern sanitary facilities, relaxation spaces, and a warm community atmosphere typical of camp evenings.
Experiences & Adventure
Storyland
More than just a playground, this is an outdoor educational park. With installations made of wood, stone, and natural elements, children can explore climbing routes, water and sand play areas, or labyrinths. Parents can relax in the shaded areas, having perfect visibility of the little ones.
Forest Camp
An educational core dedicated to children and youth, designed as a “school in nature”. Accommodation is provided in rustic huts, while summer courses and workshops teach the little ones to respect the environment, in close connection with the adjacent dendrological garden.
Sky Hunters
A spectacular area dedicated to birds of prey. You will be able to admire various species in specially designed aviaries and attend educational free-flight demonstrations, learning about the role of these birds in the ecosystem.
The Horse Stables
The equestrian center is the starting point for exploring the domain on horseback. The stables can be visited, and the arena hosts beginner lessons and thematic equestrian shows.
