Active holidays in Transcarpathia: a horse-riding trek

Turbulent adrenaline doesn’t inspire you? Horse-riding treks into the Carpathians are exactly what you need. Everything just as in ancient times: the boundless Carpathians, the untamed wind, the mountain cliffs and a horse beneath the saddle.

Are you afraid of riding a horse? You can be completely at ease, because horses of the Hutsul breed - are astonishing animals. This breed of horse was developed over centuries by our ancestors specially for life in the harsh mountains. Small, but strong and very hardy, these horses are distinguished by their composure, intelligence and peaceable temperament, for the harsh mountains forgive neither mistakes nor wildness. That horses are cleverer than dogs has long been known, but history has left astonishing facts. When a highlander could not determine the place to cross a turbulent mountain river, he would let go of the reins - and the Hutsul horse itself, by a sense known only to it, would unerringly find the ford for the crossing.

Riding a horsealso has a very beneficial effect on the human nervous system, giving a wealth of positive feeling. Taking part in a horse-riding trek, you will experience the astonishing sensations forgotten by modern man, overcoming all the hardships of a mountain crossing. The steady beat of hooves, gusts of wind seasoned with mountain herbs, the aroma of Transcarpathian bograch cooked over a campfire, new friends - and all of this in the boundless Carpathian mountains.

It is worth overcoming any obstacle for this!

The holiday will end, you will scatter to your homes, but a piece of your heart will remain here, in the Carpathian mountains, calling you back to it every year.
