Trail Description: Only a few hours away from the big cities of Europe there is a fascinating resort to savor real adventure: The Southern Great Plain is situated east of the Danube and although the landscape is rather flat and plain, it comprises various regions which are famous for their diverse peoples and traditions. The Plain with clear sky winters and dry sunny summers (about 280 days of sunshine/year!) is considered by the Hungarians as their pantry and they love it from the bottom of their hearts. Discover this gorgeous landscape on horseback; ride into a world what it was like in the ancient days and just fancy how people made their simple way of living – as some still do. On your daily star trails meet friendly people who are breeding Hungarian long-wool sheep and longhorn or work hard on their fields. By silent movements you may ride through flower meadows, lush marshlands and shadowy woods, visiting wildlife, watch rare birds, deer and wild boar while cutting across their paths. In the heart of Europe, The Hungarian Southern-Plain still holds lots to be exploited. SPECIAL: Moonlight-ride*Experience a night trail during the full-moon period. Observe the clear sky, the Milky Way and dive into the so called pusztasea with its pure silver glance accompanied by the sound of silence. What an unforgettable experience for rider and horse! *(depends on the weather +/- 2 days before and after full-moon).
