Here is a short description of the most classic tracks:

Buffalo:

This ride takes you first through the village of Prod where the times seems to be standing still. A group riding through the village is always considered a big event and you can immediately feel the warm hospitality of the charming, relaxed inhabitants. After a short forest ride the track takes us over some soft rolling hills and down to a quiet long valley. We ride along a river for a while and this is the perfect place to enjoy some spectacular long gallops. From the valley we will slowly start to climb up through an untouched mysterious forest where you can if you are lucky meet a dear or two. We cross the hill and ride down on the other side on a small sand road surrounded by the silence of nature. We cross the next valley and ride over another small hill from where you will have a magnificent view of the farm.

Seleus:

On this track we will first ride trough the village of Prod. We ride along a valley and start climbing uphill via an extraordinary green tunnel. We ride on sandy roads and in beautiful green valleys. Soon we will reach the highest point on the hill from where you will have a magnificent view over not only Seleus but also far away. We start to descend on green slopes covered with wildflowers, here is a good chance you will meet some friendly shepherds. Well down we will head for Seleus village. In the village we will ride next to the local fortified Saxon church. From Seleus we start to climb uphill until we end up in a extremely beautiful forest which is the perfect place for galloping. After exploring the forest we slowly head downhill back to the farm.

Classic 3:

This track will take you after a small climb up to a very beautiful plateau up on the hill. We ride across the plateau and will stop to enjoy a nice view at the end of the plateau. We ride next to wine yards we see some typical local lakes and prepare ourselves for a long gallop on sandy roads uphill. Well up on the hill we will stop to and enjoy the extensive view, the scenery is superb for a photo. From here we slowly descend via a beautiful forest and head back to the farm.

Classic 2:

This track takes us along green valleys and over small hills in the nearby surroundings.

Senereus:

Is a longer track, depending on the speed 4,5-6h. We will start by riding along a valley where you can enjoy some nice gallops. After this we first make a climb uphill and cross a cool and nice forest. At the end of the forest we will start to ride along a sandy road which takes us through beautiful scenery of hills, flowering meadows and green valleys. Along the road we will also cross a typical Transylvanian sheep farm. After some hours ride we will slowly start to climb up on a hill, from where you will at the top have a very nice view of the town of Senereus. Well down in Senereus we will make a short stop and get some refreshments. After this we will slowly start our way back home riding on small sandy roads just calling for smooth gallops.
