The Great Terrains of Herzegovina Full Week Activity

Each morning starts with a cup of tea/coffee and breakfast. After breakfast guests will get to know the horses and after getting ready we will get out to a test ride with the group. 

Guests will have time to meet the horses and decide whether everything suits them. After the ride we will enjoy a delicious lunch followed by
rest. In the afternoon hours we will get one more ride before the dinner and final rest before our next day full of adventures.

After breakfast guests will get ready for the trail riding. Everyone is going to groom and assist in getting the
horses ready. The guide will saddle and check each horse. 

Today's ride will be an uphill riding route through the Blaževići village where we pass the local church of St. Luke who is the patron saint of horses and
animals. Lunch will be served back at the ranch. 

The afternoon ride is up to Lake Krenica. During the summer months we can stop for some refreshment and take pictures at the Lake
for great memories. We will see the hay fields of Herzegovina with amazing views and wildlife such as rabbits, wild ducks, pheasants and other birds. 

Krenica Lake is well known from legendary stories with the deepest point of 47meters and that is not a bottom of the lake. Dinner will be served at the ranch by your hosts with traditional food and drinks.

After breakfast we will ride starting from the ranch and crossing the water channels 2 times to the final open fields of Artemisia - the name says it all. This will be an interesting riding route through the fields of a very aromatic herb Artemisia. This is an amazing experience - cantering through the herbs and enjoying the unique smell of the plant. 

Lunch will be served in the nature, so we can all enjoy the rest in the shade of trees and the horses can have a bite of grass. Afternoon ride is continuing towards the ranch and riding next to the water channel passing the wine yards on our way. 

On our way home we ride along different channels, and on our way there is possibility to of seeing a herd of sheep in the fields. Once we are back home, everyone is helping to take the saddle of the horses and get the horses ready for dinner. Dinner will be served back at the ranch.

After breakfast guests will start riding from the ranch and we will pass wine yards, orchards and crops of corn, potatoes, wheat (depending which time of the year we are riding at). We will ride trough the village and then follow the route uphill crossing over hill called Svetigora. 

After crossing the hill we will arrive in a very peaceful valley Omerovac which is a family owned field in the valley surrounded by four hills - Svetigora, Krstina, Ograda and Orlov Kuk. This is our uphill and downhill riding route with an amazing break for lunch in the nature on the family owner field among the four hills. All you can experience in this ride is absolute peace, without sounds of traffic or any other modern disturbing. 

At the valley we will stay for a break in the deep shade of oak trees. There is possibility for a football match or other activities such as traditional games of Herzegovina. On our way back home from the valley we will stop to visit the necropolis of ancient Roman tombstones, this is very interesting because some of them still have carved symbols after so many years. Coffee will be served before we ride downhill from the valley to the ranch.

In the morning after breakfast you will get ready for another trail. Today's trail is called Matica River – this is a very attractive route and a very special riding day as this route was used for National endurance Championship of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2010. 

It is nice ride along the Matica River, well known as the river that changes name in every next village down the river, and ends up in the Adriatic Sea. On this route we will have an amazing place to stop and cool the horses. The riders will have lunch and a break at the river. Dinner will be served back at the ranch after riding along the river and a couple of more channels on our way back home.

Highlight of the holiday. After breakfast we will get ready to go on the most interesting route riding around the beautiful lake Nuga. We will climb up the hill to get to the entrance of the famous cave called “Ravlića pećina”. After visiting the cave we will ride to the spring of the Matica river. 

The area is well known by the old watermills that were used to flour grain for bread in the past centuries. Nowadays there are just old buildings and some of the mills pieces left over for visitors to see. Picnic lunch will be served at the river, and then a short visit to the “Peć Mlini” Park. 

After a break we will mount up the horses and ride back to Nuga Lake. From there we will follow a different route that leads back home. At the stables we set the horses to the barn and head to the dinner served in the club house.

Departure is scheduled after breakfast. Snacks for late departures can be provided.
