Horse treks in the region are particularly interesting for two reasons. First – because of the hilly-flat nature and terrain which is excellent for horse trekking and second: the area is sparsely populated and riders can find places where no man has been for decades. The plateau reveals wonderful panoramic views of the Danubian Plain and the Osam River. For outright beginners, we offer an hourly tuition with a cord, in coral, by a qualified instructor.

Advanced riders can make a day, beam trips which we organize in four directions, along with a guide.
