  • Explore Romania′s most beautiful forests on horseback
  • Riding beginners will learn from the best at one of the area′s elite equestrian centers
  • It&prme;s not often you get to enjoy a horse-drawn carriage ride

The forests of Transylvania are rich in Romanian folklore, with stories of cruel princes and mythical creatures writ large between the branches.

Explore the shaded trails of this woodland paradise in the company of horses, an experience that’s serene and exhilarating in equal measure.

Experienced riders can set out at a gallop or a canter through this charmed stretch of wilderness, while beginners will be treated to a riding introduction and a horse-drawn carriage trip.

There’s no better way to experience the sylvan beauty of Transylvania.

Itinerary

This tour comes in two options: Advanced horseback riding in Transylvania and Horseback riding for beginners in Transylvania. The tours are tailored to suit your level of equestrian experience.

Advanced Horseback Riding in Transylvania:
You will be picked up from your Sighisoara hotel in an air-conditioned coach by your English-speaking driver/ guide. German, Italian, Spanish, and French guides are also available on request. Take a beautiful 6-kilometer drive to the Transylvanian forest, which is the perfect setting for a horseback ride.

Arrive at the Dracul Danes Equestrian Centre, which spreads out over 5 hectares in the lush reaches of Oak Valley.

The activities included in this itinerary are designed for advanced horseback riders who are competent in all speeds and are experienced at controlling a horse.

Riders will enjoy three hours on horseback along enchanted forest trails. The clip-clop sound of your horse’s hooves combine to magical effect with the skyward songs of birds and the faint rustle of wind in the trees.

Your tour ends where it began.

Horseback Riding for Beginners in Transylvania:
This tour is for those with limited or no experience in horseback riding. The equestrian centre in Danes is among the finest in the region, and beginners will find their skills on horseback markedly improved in no time at all.

Enjoy 20 minutes of riding in manege, where you’ll really get a feel for how to control your horse.

Your riding initiation is followed by a peaceful horse drawn carriage ride through the forest, where you’ll feel like a Saxon nobleman on a day in the country.

Your tour ends where it began.
