Travelling by horse and cart, we went to visit a shepherd camp in the hills behind Miklosvar. The shepherds spend 5 months of the year living in the mountains with their flock of about 300 sheep. They milk the sheep by hand three times a day and make cheese from the milk. Shepherd dogs guard the camp from bears and wolves. There are over 8000 bears in Transylvania — more than in all the rest of Europe combined!
