Our Tours In Romania 
Romania
 Travel back through time to Transylvania on a horseback tour through Romania. Gallop across vast green fields while weaving in and out of hay stacks, climb steep mountains for breathtaking views and experience the history of Romania on horseback. Experience ancient monasteries, organic and local produce, shepherds who spend their days in fields and a dark sky scattered with stars.
Transylvania
A land of mountains and forests, folklore and tradition, hospitality and mystery, Transylvania remains Europe's best-kept secret.
|
Villages straight out of a bucolic past,
where traditional folk costumes are still worn;
Working horses still outnumbering
motor vehicles;
Food grown on small farms,
without chemicals;
Rural tourism that benefits ordinary people,
not corporations or cartels;
Tranquility, without the sounds of motor
vehicles or aero planes;
Monasteries on quiet hillsides;
Forests sheltering abundant wildlife;
Shepherds who still spend all summer
on alpine pastures;
Starry night skies without the orange
glow of a city;
People whose brows are not furrowed
by the stresses of modern life. |

 Here you can unwind, relax in the tranquil countryside, experience a way of life that was vanishing from the West nearly a century ago.
You can explore this secret land on horseback, or by horse and carriage - some of the horses belong to rare local breeds. You can try out activities that you may not have the chance to try elsewhere - ploughing with a horse, cutting hay with a scythe, milking a cow, making a horseshoe by hand at the forge.
Your holiday will be more than just a riding adventure. We give you the opportunity to experience the rich history of Transylvania, including the medieval Saxon citadel town of Sighisoara, the Byzantine Painted Monasteries, fine Austro-Hungarian architecture, and Roman remains. Transylvania is also the land of Bram Stoker's Dracula. We can take you to the Borgo Pass by horse and carriage, where you can stay in the "Hotel Castle Dracula". You can discover local legends, perhaps around a bonfire over a drink or two with local people. The distant howling wolves will be authentic!
