In Fairyland

We make a day-tour to Pásztorbükk, a place with an important historical significance – the prince-bishop Báthory Endre was captured and killed here in 1599. Our tour is a good opportunity to learn about the historical aspect of this place and its legends. From here we head for a sheepfold where we can taste cheese and orda (a sort of whey cheese). We have lunch at the shepherds’ place and then go back to the village. In the afternoon we visit the village museum where we offer our guests the possibility to have a look at the national costume worn by local people and to learn about some of our traditions.

On this day we’ll ride up to the top of Naskalat (1553m) where we follow the runaway route of the 32 border hunter batallion.
Our guests can get some information about this batallion. The range of Naskalat separates the valley of Ghimes from the Csík basin.

From Gálkút valley we climb to the Tarkö mountain (1460m) from where we descend to Ghimes, more precisely to Muhos and Barackos. On our way we can admire mountainers’ cottages, shepherds’ houses and can learn about the life of these people living in the middle of nature. Our guests can spend a nice evening up in the mountains, relaxing in the wooden barrel tub of the guesthouse.

We arrive to a more difficult section, namely – we have to get on the top of the Öcsém mountain which is up at 1707m high.We go along this chalk cliff-ridge on horse till we reach the Egyeskő (Lonely Rock)1608m where we take a rest, have lunch then we descend to our accomodation in Székpatak.

From Székpatak we continue our tour towards Csíkszentdomokos going along the ridge of Olt Reze. This place offers an amazing view of the Nagyhagymás and that of the Csík alps.
Dinner and room in Csíkszentdomokos.
