During our journey, we explore Nagyhagymás National Park, the sole national park in Szeklerland. Here we can witness hidden and untouched mountain landscapes, dense forests, awe-inspiring peaks, and crystal-clear waters. Some of these locations hold significant historical importance, while others seek validation through a variety of fairy tales and legends cherished by the local people.

The diverse terrain offers opportunities for both short and long horseback rides, but the more challenging slopes may require riders to dismount and walk. When we reach the summit of Nagyhagymás mountain at 1792 meters, it feels as though we are on the pinnacle of the world.

    For the second time we had the pleasure to take part in a horseback riding tour organised by this team. With our very nice, friendly, cooperative, comfortable and well conditioned Transylvanian horses we toured the Gyimes, the Háromkúti basin and the Hidegség. We saw free grazing studs, herds of cattle, flocks of sheep. Riding along the ridges, we could admire the villages in the valley and the Nagyhagymás mountains in the distance. We enjoyed the sunshine, bathed in waterfalls and galloped in the pouring rain. During the hike we could listen to the folk songs of our guide, Laci. In the evenings, after a dinner of local delicacies, we could enjoy the guitar playing of Emőke and Gábor. I could go on for a long time about the folk dance festival in Csíkszentdomokos and the beauty of the Gyimes skiing area. These days will remain an everlasting experience for all of us, I can heartily recommend them to all riders who love touring!

    We went on a very enjoyable riding trip in the mountains. The staff was very professional and made sure that we enjoyed every moment. The views are very beautiful and the food was also very delicious. Anyone who is in the area and is looking for a slightly different and very enjoyable experience strongly recommend this riding trip.
