Asparuh Horse Base is a dream come true. It is a place for smiles and love, rich in beautiful landscapes, a place that fills the body and soul with health, positive emotion, and memories to last a lifetime. Horse base and guest house in the village of Hvoyna Inspired by the love for horses, nature, and the folklore past of the Rhodope Mountains, we created this amazing place – an equestrian base and a mountain guest house for your unforgettable experiences! Our location in the heart of the Rhodope Mountains, the village of Hvoyna, is a wonderful combination of easy access and mountain charm – only 50 km from the city of Plovdiv. Freedom, timelessness, harmony, centuries-old forests, the Rhodope kaba bagpipe, authentic architecture, and centuries-old history are just some things that will fill your days with us. We will immerse you in a different world, a world that’s filled with the beauty of nature and horses, their unconditional love and grace, a world where the mornings are more cheerful and the evenings are more cozy and promising! We will show you the Rhodope hospitality, traditional cuisine, and folklore. You will have the opportunity to experience the Rhodope Mountains first-hand! “There is no person who can embrace the Rhodope Mountains at a glance. There is no peak you can climb to recognize it at a glance. You have to walk it, suffer it, and then gather it in your heart and see – but you have to have the heart of an eagle. You cannot see the Rhodope Mountains with your eyes, you have to see it with your heart. With your eyes closed, inside you.” Anton Donchev – “Time of Parting”
