Discover the magical Plitvice Lakes region on horseback back - on a riding experience that combines nature, tranquillity and adventure. On the authentic western farm, idyllically situated in the middle of forest, you ride in small groups through pristine landscapes characterized by springs, waterfalls and green hills. The farm is located just 15 kilometers from the Plitvice Lakes National Park with its waterfalls and is in the immediate vicinity of the famous Barac stalactite caves and the charming village of Dreznik Grad.
The farm breeds and trains its own horses, so they are all perfectly suited for the trails, even for less experienced riders. Non-riders will also find plenty of opportunities to relax here: take a carriage ride through the countryside or explore the surrounding area on foot or by bike on well-marked trails. This riding program is the perfect opportunity to experience the beauty of Croatia in a very special way.

Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival at your accommodations and transfer to the farm. After checking into your rooms, you can explore the ranch and get to know the animals that live there before enjoying a leisurely carriage ride with a picnic. You’ll take the carriage to the Speleon Museum of Underground Heritage (approximately a 4-hour trip, including a guided museum tour and picnic). After the ride, you’ll return to the ranch for dinner.

Day 2: On the second day of riding, you’ll embark on a day-long ride through the open valleys of Plitvice. Your ride will take you through the scenic gorge of the Korana River. You’ll ride past the old tower of Dreznik Grad before arriving in the Deer Valley. Here, a picnic featuring homemade ingredients awaits you in the heart of nature. In the evening, you’ll return to the ranch feeling content, where dinner will already be waiting for you.

Day 3: Today you’ll head to the famous Barac Caves. There, you’ll enjoy an exciting guided tour with historical insights, followed by a convivial picnic in the park. Afterward, you’ll return to the ranch, where you’ll have some free time before dinner is served.

Day 4: It’s finally time to saddle up again! Today you’ll go on a day-long ride through the vast fields and peaceful countryside not far from the ranch. A great opportunity for a brisk gallop, if you’d like. The highlight of the ride will be an impressive viewpoint before you ride back to the ranch.

Day 5: Today you’ll take a break from riding and go on a day trip to the picturesque Plitvice Lakes. You’ll depart after breakfast and spend the day there exploring the numerous waterfalls and crystal-clear lakes. The waters are teeming with fish and attract numerous bird species and other wildlife. You’ll return to the ranch in the late afternoon, where you’ll have some time to relax before dinner.

Day 6: To wrap up your trip, another highlight awaits you. After breakfast, you’ll saddle up your horses and pack your swimwear. Today you’ll ride to the Slunjcica River, where you’ll spend the day. Enjoy a dip in the refreshing water and a delicious barbecue in good company on the riverbank. What a great way to end your horseback riding vacation in Croatia!

Day 7: Departure after breakfast.
