Rest for us and rest for the horses
The intensity and the itineraries of our passages are good considered and organized. Riding is about 2-3 hours until lunch and 2-3 hours after lunch, enjoying the unexpected beauty of the region, which is situated so close to Sofia in terms of kilometers, and at the same time grants one fully unknown atmosphere. The passages are through lovely forests, on the soft slopes and the ridge of the mystic Balkan, along fast, clear rivers and brooks. Clean air, aromas of herbs, hums of bees – in the quietness you can sense the pure sounds of nature. The possibility to ride for hours in a world without traffic, noise and multitude of people, is something for which in the modern city you can only dream about. As a part of the pastoral view are the periodically met sparse flocks of cows or sheep, which are bred by the few remaining inhabitants of the depopulated hamlets. The rural people are extremely hospitable and friendly – the outer visitors of these places are rarity and on the look of a group of riders they are sincerely happy and they greet.
