Route details

On arrival at your accommodation in Bač you will be shown your room. It’s a short drive to Sembije (c. 5 mins) where the horses are located. Today you will sort out equipment for the ride and talk about horse allocation, meeting your steed for the week.

If there is time then you may set off on a gentle ride up a nearby hill to appreciate the view and see the route you are going to travel over the next few days – this is not at all guaranteed as is only possible with early arrivals, it’s just a possible extra.

Tonight you will have dinner in Turist farm Bač.
