Balkan Rides (Stationery Holiday)

The riding base, where this holiday takes place, is situated on the northern side of the Balkan Mountains in the vicinity of the charming town of Apriltsi, facing the most fantastic panorama towards the range of the highest peak in the mountains – Mt. Botev (2376m a.s.l.), and Central Balkan National Park. Nowadays Apriltsi is a town, which has assembled 4 villages in the past. Many painters, musicians and writers have found the freedom to be creative in these surroundings and their houses are real workshops. But what fascinates most is the background of tempting mountains, promising unforgettable experiences and challenges, which you will be able to explore along with your riding guide.
This tour provides countless opportunities for all riders – from complete beginners to advanced riders. The program can be adjusted on spot depending on your level of experience: you can either trace the hidden trails in the woods or the green slopes of the mountains helped by our guides or make your first steps in the horseback riding. For the experienced rider there are many possibilities for challenging riding in the mountainous terrains. We ride through mountain rivers, up and down steep mountains and all other kinds of areas. And the terrain is for all types of riders. Our riding guides know what to show you if you’re experienced but also if you don’t have the experience yet. The biggest difference between the trails and a one base week is exactly here:a stay in the riding base is giving the experienced rider a lot of possibilities. For the less experienced we ride for a while near the base and when you get comfortable with horses and the equipment we ride out in the mountains – and also in all paces if you are for that.
