TRANSYLVANIA WEEK - ROMANIAmore photos | enquiry | availability check | ride reviews This part of Romania boasts unspoilt nature with meadows scattered with wild flowers, woods, creeks and hills with beautiful views. On your riding holiday you will encounter shepherds with flocks of sheep, goats and buffaloes and have many opportunities to meet the local villagers whose traditional lives seem lost in time. Horses are part of the culture here and still extensively used in agricultural work. The climate is warm, dry and sunny almost the whole summer long. Here we offer a based stay in a comfortable guest house with 2 or 3 bed rooms and en suite or shared bathroom. The resident dogs are very welcoming too! The nearby castle of Dracula is a must see on a visit here.
SAMPLE ITINERARY - TRANSYLVANIA WEEKThis itinerary is a sample of the rides available. The daily itinerary is very flexible and varies depending on local conditions such as weather and riders desires. There is always the chance to take a day off to rest or visit nearby towns or Draculas castle etcDay 1 Arrival and transfer to the inn. Meeting the horses and other resident animals, all well loved and cared for. Drinks, snacks and extensive dinner and a good nights rest to get you ready for your horse riding holiday. Day 2 Meet and try your horse in a trip to Sona. Find out how sure footed and responsive they are riding through the hills along the Sapte Mamelle. We have lunch at the Asobar. Maybe we meet the retired forester Traian. Back along the river Olt and we visit the shepherds where we try their buttermilk and buy some Telemia (soft fresh sheep cheese).Back to the inn for a nice hot shower, drinks and the Telemia while we await a fine dinner. Day 3 After breakfast and preparing our lunchboxes we go for a nature ride and don't see a village all day. We go through forests, valleys and hills and have picnic in the open field. After returning home we can take the horses for a ride in the Olt River and when the weather is fine, we swim with the horses. After that a nice cold beer is waiting for us and again a lovely 4-5 course dinner. Day 4 Goal for today is the village of Ticus, an old Saxon village where recently some houses have been renovated with German money. Here we have lunch in the local pub owned by Heinz. We may see tracks of bears on the way back which we hopefully do not meet and with some same luck we may see deer. Day 5 Today we will visit Felmer. We go through open field in Northwestern direction. In the village we see the once beautiful fortified church, unfortunately gone to ruin. We have lunch at Theodora's who owns a little pub. We ride through a wide valley and cross little waters and streams. When we return in Halmeag you can visit the oldest fortified church of Transylvania. The English/German speaking vicar is happy to give you a tour. Day 6 Today we go to the end of the world, the village of Cobor. It was used in many movie sets of war and westerns. Here we have a drink at Pista Baci's (uncle Pista) pub and shop where even the local constable is a regular visitor. In this area many beautiful coloured birds, bee-eaters, have their nests. Day 7 Today we go in Northeast direction and our goal is CriHalma. We go along the river where we have some long canters and gallops. We have lunch in the local pub and back in the inn a "Masa festive" is waiting for us. Day 8 Breakfast and already time to say goodbye. Transfer to the airport.
