5.00I had a great time on this day tour! Riding in a small group, super nice horse and guides. Highlight was to arrive at the turf house that is almost like a little museum. Stopping there, having the horses graze while taking a break in the house gives you a good idea about what life was like in earlier days. Great experience!
Awesome views and great horses

5.00This riding tour was amazing! With a small group of people we rode to the turf house - next to stunning mountains and nature. The turf house was also really worth to take a look inside (fully equipped with old tools and also a possibility to sleep in). During the riding tour we had several breaks to relax a bit and enjoy the surroundings :)
Perfect riding day
