Escape into one of Bulgaria’s most beautiful mountain regions on a two-day horseback adventure through the Rhodope Mountains. Surrounded by forests, open meadows and peaceful countryside, you'll spend your days exploring landscapes that feel untouched by modern life while travelling at a pace that allows you to fully appreciate the surroundings.
Unlike fixed riding tours, this experience is adapted around your riding ability and preferences. Whether you enjoy steady trail riding through mountain scenery or would like to cover more ground across the Rhodopes' extensive network of paths, your instructor will tailor the experience to create the most enjoyable adventure possible.
The Rhodope Mountains offer some of the finest horse riding terrain in Bulgaria, with a huge variety of trails crossing forests, valleys and rolling hills. Having a private instructor means every aspect of the trip can be adjusted to suit your experience level, allowing you to enjoy a more personalised and rewarding adventure.
Luggage transfers and organised logistics remove much of the planning usually associated with multi-day riding holidays. Instead, you can focus entirely on the horses, the scenery and the unique atmosphere of travelling through the countryside on horseback.
The tour is designed for riders with some previous horse riding experience and can be adapted to suit different confidence levels. Routes are customised according to your riding ability, helping create an enjoyable and appropriate experience throughout both days.
More experienced riders may have opportunities to cover greater distances or enjoy faster-paced sections where suitable.
The amount of riding varies depending on your experience level, preferred pace and the route selected by your instructor. The flexible nature of the trip means the itinerary can be adjusted to maximise enjoyment rather than following a strict timetable.
Each day focuses on spending significant time in the saddle while still allowing plenty of opportunities to enjoy the scenery.
