Short Week of Riding

Today we’ll start our first trail-riding tour. Are you excited? Don’t worry, our horses are all experienced climbers who will carry you safely through the mountains! After a typical Romanian breakfast, we will fetch the horses from the meadow together. Next we will be cleaning and saddling our four-legged companions, and after a short briefing our adventure will begin: Today, we will be headed to the valley down below. We will be riding through dense spruce forests, cross a small mountain stream and pass through flowering meadows. After about two hours we will pause at a cheese diary to have our lunch break. You will get a taste of everyday life on the farm and will have the possibility to tuck into the fresh hand-made traditional cheese. Once you’re ready we’ll be on our way back to our ranch. After taking care of the horses you can relax: Bathing in the Hot Pot, sitting at the bonfire, reading a book, picking mushrooms or herbs; you will enjoy the peaceful time for yourself. Together we will then have dinner in our log cabin.

Duration of the trail-ride: approx. 4 hours

After having had breakfast, we will start our second trail-ride. Our objective will be to ride to the “Little Sipos”. On our way we will be passing idyllic farms and our descend to the valley will take us to the source of the River Olt, which is the second largest river in Romania. Here we will water our horses and refill our water bottles. Afterwards we will be riding steeply uphill, thereby passing through primeval forests. Having reached the summit at 1450 meters, we will take our well-deserved lunch break enjoying the wonderful view over the valley of Kovacs Peter. In the evening you will have the opportunity to bath in the Hot Pot, to sit together and to make music next to the campfire and under the starlit sky.

Duration of the trail-ride: approx. 4, 5 hours

Today we will be following small and intricate paths through a mystical forest. We’ll be riding uphill and cross clear mountain streams until we’ll have reached blooming flower meadows, from which we’ll have a breathtaking view of the mountain ranges in our surrounding. The open plains will be ideal for our first canter. Once we’ll have reached a small clearing in the forest, we’ll pause to have a lunch-break. While the horses and cows graze peacefully around us, we’ll enjoy the well-deserved break and perhaps the warm rays of the sun will seduce the one or the other to have a little nap.

Duration of the trail-ride approx. 4 hours

Today you will experience a real highlight:
We’ll take you to the high mountains! Stunning views as far as the eye can see, wide mountain plateaus and wild rock formations will let you stand in awe with the beauty in which nature expresses herself. At about 1600 meters, we’ll have our lunch break. We’ll enjoy the scenic view of the Hargita Mountains and the Bicaz Gorge. On our way back to the Ranch, the soft ground will be ideal for several short canters.

Duration of the ride approx. 5 hours

After a hearty breakfast, we will drive you to Gheorgheni, from where you will start your individual journey back home.
