Unique Trails Horse Riding Tour Romania

Loved by most of EquiTransylvania's guests because of the excellent riding route through Transylvanian villages, forests, and hills (Kiskede-Szencsed-Székelyvarság and back), and also maybe it is not that exhausting. It is just a wonderful possibility for riding, relaxing, and slowing down your pace.

Program

Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival at Kiskedébe

At the partner guesthouse, you are checking in, then you have a meal together, get to know each other, and also a small brief is taking place regarding the following days.

Day 2

After a tasty breakfast, you are transferred to your horse riding base, where tacked-up horses are awaiting. Every rider gets the best suitable horse for the following three days. You spend some time here, usually, a short ride in the arena is also needed. Preparations are done, and you head to your first destination: Szencsed. You ride through small nice villages, huge meadows, and nice forest tracks. The ride is a mix of walking, trotting, and occasionally cantering.

During the day, you spend approximately four to five hours total in the saddle, riding around 30 kilometers in total. Lunch break at a riding center, where you can enjoy a hot lunch, and some local "brandy" and the horses can rest in safety as well. You arrive at the destination late afternoon, where the host is waiting for you with a great lunch, accommodation in the yurt with beds, a lake, a shower, a sauna, and lots of kind animals.

Day 3

On the second day spent riding, you ride to Székelyvarság. Leaving the accommodation, you ride on forest roads, among pine forests and mountains. In the afternoon, you reach the lookout point of Székelyvarság, from where you can see the whole of Szeklerland. You will have your lunch here, and then you will continue your ride to the Parliament of Varság. You will return to Szencsed with a small round, where a heated sauna and a hot dinner are waiting. You spend about five hours in the saddle, and on this day, due to the terrain, you go mostly stepping and sometimes trotting.

Day 4

On your last day of riding, you ride nearly 40 kilometers, much more dynamically than the previous day, with a lot of trotting and galloping. Starting from Szencsed, riding on a huge plateau, you reach the Lookout for the Heart of Jesus, where you spend your first rest. Then, riding on, you touch Farkaslaka, where you also visit the memorial house of Ãron Tamási. You have lunch at the edge of a forest, then you return to Kiskede by riding through forests and hills. In the evening, you say goodbye to the guests with dinner and a little brandy.

Day 5: Departure

Get ready to leave the guesthouse.

About the tour
