ON HORSEBACK ALONG HUNGARY'S GREEN CORRIDOR
In the heart of Somogy province, the green corridor stretches from Lake Balaton to the North to
the Drava River on the Croatian border to the South. This region of watercourses, ponds
& forests is also the home of some of the rarest animal species in Europe such as the
Otter, the Ferruginous Duck (Fuligule nyroca), the Black Stork (Ciconia nigra) or the
White-tailed Eagle (Haliaetus albicilla).
For a week, 5 to 8 experienced riders have the opportunity to explore, from North to
South, this remote area, owned & managed by our partner, the Somogy Nature Conservancy.
Two non-riding companions are also welcomed: they will travel on a horse-drawn carriage
that follows the riders.

the purity of the Somes River & the numerous springs found there. Six days without any

lumber or taking farmers & families to the market. Flora & fauna will amaze you every day.

non-riders to follow you either by foot, on a mountain bike or in the cart.

HORSING AROUND IN THE ROMANIAN APUSENI
Located in the famous Transylvania Mountains (also called the Transylvania Alps),
the Apuseni country has a spectacular & wild nature, where hamlets and their small cabins
are completely isolated in the mountains. The ride goes across this quiet & welcoming land,
through forests & pastures perched at an attitude ranging from 1600 to 1800 meters (i.e.
5,300 to 6,000 feet). The Apuseni are a natural fort difficult to pass, even now! Over the
centuries, numerous Romanian people escaped from the wars & found here a shelter where
their native language & civilization remain untouched. These mountains are covered with
forests, home of bears, wolves, elk, foxes & boars, as well as with plenty of beneficial
medicinal herbs. An enchanted garden you will discover from horseback!
