In the heart of Serbia's mystical mountains, an unforgettable adventure awaits. Imagine galloping through ancient forests, crossing crystal-clear rivers, and connecting deeply with both your horse and the wild beauty of the land. Mount Povlen, with its enigmatic energy and timeless landscapes, is the backdrop to an experience that will leave you transformed.

You’ll explore Povlen’s captivating peaks, ride across sacred trails, and immerse yourself in nature’s healing powers. Start your ride with Qi Gong, grounding your spirit and awakening your body. As you ride from dawn till dusk, the mountain's energy will fuel your soul. In the evenings, relax in cozy domes, where the sky above and the earth below become your sanctuary. Let the silence and beauty of nature sink in.

Experience a journey of connection and self-discovery. On horseback, in the heart of the mountains, your soul will feel alive in ways you never imagined. Join us for this once-in-a-lifetime adventure—where transformation begins with the first step!

Already at the age of 6 I went with my sister on horseback to visit my aunt who was away one day riding in one direction. That experience is something indescribable that stuck in my memory. A couple of years ago, I obtained a license from the Swiss Academy for long-distance riding and I have been organizing horseback riding in Serbia for more than 8 years. I have always been fascinated by nature, animals, human being, the mystique of the untouchable and the goal of our existence … I want to guide you through remote parts of the Dinaric Alps and Sumadija and get closer to nature and animals in a special way … With more than 20 years of tourism experience and human health through exercise, riding and my own experience riding with us reaches a special level in which we become one team enjoying the beautiful landscapes of this part of the Balkan. I am father of five children and my son Matej has been riding the whole trail since he was 8 years old. I organize the tour, equipment, horses, know how, tour guide in English and German.

    We suddenly faced a big problem when a snowstorm (in October!) brought the entire region to a standstill. The roads became impassable due to snow and fallen trees, and we couldn’t leave the horse-riding location in the mountains. Igor and his team were incredibly kind and helpful — they hosted us for an extra night and day, provided food and information, and even involved neighbors to help clear the road. A huge thank you!

    The resort offers a highly varied riding program, with great gallops on the plateaus. The horses are always well taken care of, but some passages can be steep, making it exhausting for both horses and riders. However, the amazing riding guides made the experience worthwhile, ensuring that all our wishes were addressed with care and attention. The accommodation is simple, clean, and comfortable.
