We booked this 8days trip with Penguin travel and had an amazing time. Everything was very well organised and the horses well taken care of. The guide, Lubo, went above and beyond all expectations and did an amazing job at explaining us the culture, history and making us discover diversified paths and landscapes. He also made sure we had great exchanges with local population. I HIGHLY recommend.

Superbe expérience de 6j à cheval dans les montagnes Rhodopes en Bulgarie! Les chevaux sont calmes et aux pieds sûrs. Le guide Lubo a toujours le mot pour rire et vous fera découvrir la culture bulgare avec sa gastronomie, vins, paysages, musiques, danses et anecdotes. Rien à redire, c’était parfait

Trotz einer extrem kurzfristigen Buchung hat Penguin Travel es geschafft, den Ritt für uns zu organisieren. Der Transfer hat sehr gut geklappt. Vor Ort wurden wir Pferden zugeteilt, die von ihrer Größe und ihrem Temperament zu uns und unserem Reit-Level gepasst haben. Da wir nur zu zweit den Trail gemacht haben, hatten wir die Möglichkeit, unsere Wünsche zu äußern, welche auch direkt und 100% umgesetzt wurden. Dies führte dazu, dass wir weniger in den Bergen geritten sind und mehr in den Feldern, wo es viele Galoppstrecken gab. Die Strecke war sehr schön und bot einen guten Einblick in die bulgarische Natur dieser Gegend. Teilweise sind wir Wegen gefolgt, dann wieder querfeldein geritten und haben dabei auch ein paar kleine Bäche durchquert. Diese Strecke wäre für Anfänger vermutlich nicht so gut geeignet, aber hat sehr gut zu unseren Angaben über unser Können gepasst. Der Hof hat jedoch den Eindruck gemacht, sehr flexibel mit Reitstrecken bezüglich verschiedener Reit-Level zu sein. Wir sind auf Arabern geritten. Die Pferde waren gut ausgebildet und vollkommen geländesicher. Sie haben das teilweise recht anspruchsvolle Gelände ohne Probleme gemeistert und waren dauerhaft motiviert dabei. Beim Galoppieren haben sie ihrer Rasse in Geschwindigkeit alle Ehre gemacht, sonst aber kein anstrengendes Temperament gezeigt. Unser Guide konnte gut Englisch und war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Dabei achtete er aber immer auf das Wohl der Pferde. Fazit: Dieser Trail ist für uns definitiv empfehlenswert und wir würden uns freuen, noch einmal dort zu reiten.
