Carpathian Escape

Day 1 – Arrive at Hipparion

Today is all about arriving and taking a breath.

You arrive at the ranch, settle into your accommodation and have time to relax and explore your surroundings.

You might want to meet the horses, enjoy the mountain views or simply leave everyday life behind for a while.

In the evening, we have a shared dinner and talk through the plans for the next two days.

Afterwards, you can simply relax: our sauna and hot tub are waiting for you – the perfect way to end your first evening in the mountains.

During the warmer months, we also often finish the evening around the campfire. With a drink in hand and the mountains around you, it is a wonderful way to start your little Carpathian escape.

No riding today – tomorrow we ride.

Day 2 – Your first day in the saddle

After breakfast, we head to the horses.

Once everyone is ready, we set off on our first day ride into the Eastern Carpathians.

Before long, we leave the ranch behind and immerse ourselves in the mountain landscape. We ride through forests, across open meadows and along quiet trails that lead us deeper into nature.

There is plenty of time for breaks, photos and simply enjoying the experience with the horses.

We ride at a comfortable pace and adapt the route to the group and the conditions.

In the afternoon, we return to our accommodation.

Now it is time to look after the horses, take off your riding boots and enjoy the rest of the day.

In the evening, a shared dinner awaits you. Afterwards, you can relax in the hot tub or enjoy the sauna.

And during the warmer months, of course, there is the campfire – the perfect end to a day in the mountains.

Riding time: approx. 5 hours

Day 3 – More Carpathian air

After breakfast, we head out for our second day ride.

Today we discover another side of the Carpathians, following new trails through the varied mountain landscape.

Forests, mountain meadows, wide views and quiet paths away from the usual tourist routes accompany us along the way.

Again, the goal is not to cover as many kilometres as possible. We want to enjoy the mountains, the horses and simply being outdoors.

After our final ride, we return to the ranch and look after the horses together.

Before you head off, we invite you to stay for coffee, tea and some snacks – a little time to sit together, talk about the past few days and enjoy one last moment in the mountains.

Then it is time to say goodbye.

Riding time: approx. 5–6 hours

Who is Karpatenluft for?

Karpatenluft is for anyone who enjoys riding and wants to experience the mountains.

Basic riding experience is required. You should feel comfortable in the saddle and know the basic riding aids.

You do not need to be a professional or an experienced trail rider. Our rides are adapted to the individual group.

The programme is therefore suitable both for regular riders and for people who simply want to try something different and discover Romania from horseback.

Perfect for your trip through Romania

Are you travelling through Romania for a few days or several weeks?

Then Karpatenluft is easy to include in your itinerary.

Instead of seeing the Carpathians only from the road or from a hiking trail, you get to spend two full days right in the landscape – on horseback.

And after a long day outdoors, it is not just a good dinner waiting for you. You can also relax in our hot tub and sauna, and during the warmer months, enjoy an evening around the campfire under the stars.

Three days, two nights and two full days outdoors are enough for a little escape from your travels.

Stay one more night?

Would you like to stay with us a little longer after your two riding days?

No problem – you can add an extra night to your stay.

For €80 per person, the additional night includes:

• accommodation
• dinner
• breakfast
• use of the hot tub and sauna

It is the perfect way to slow down after your rides and enjoy one more evening in the Carpathians.

€80 per person / additional night including dinner, breakfast & wellness
