The farm has several areas for rest (deck chairs, hammocks) or socializing with friends, whichever will suit you better after riding. If desired, you can also use the outside grill. In the summer months, they recommend swimming in the nearby Reka River.
For night rest, you can choose between sleeping on the hay on the farm or in apartments nearby (up to five kilometers away). Bathroom facilities and a fully equipped kitchen are also available on-site, at the farm.
Program
The trails are designed so that they run mainly along forest and field paths, through interesting villages, and include stops at local providers. The intensity and pace of riding will be tailored to your skill, desires, and the well-being of horses. In case any problems arise, Farm Volk will gladly assist you (veterinarian, blacksmith, horse transport).
