riding holidays in the unspoilt landscape of Northern Hungary. We also
arrange tours and offer advice for anyone wishing to travel independently to
Hungary.
Hungary is a land where the foothills of the Alps meet the Carpathians. Where lowlands
and plains flank the south. It is home to the largest lake in Western and central Europe
and where the ”olvadas” of the mountains beyond feed the rivers criss crossing through
the country.
It is also home to numerous rare birds, insects and flowers which can be captured on film
during your walking holiday.
Many of our guests begin or end their walking holiday with a few days in the country's
capital, Budapest, which offers all the glamour and excitement of Western Europe at a
fraction of the cost.

looking for a holiday that is just a little different from the norm to join us here in this unspoilt
landscape and to join us on bespoke tours and walking holidays in Northern Hungary,
home to the country’s finest and most scenic landscapes. With such beautiful and varied
trails to enjoy it's no wonder that hiking is a national sport. Hungary was the first country in
Europe to have a long distance walking route which is known as The Countrywide Blue
Tour, (Országos Kéktúra) This Hungarian section makes up part of the European Long
Distance Walking Route E4.
Our tailor made tours and walking holidays have been created and planned by ourselves
from years of exploration both on horseback and on foot. Our trails pass through
limestone plateaus, old forests, typical Hungarian villages and areas abundant with wildlife.
We have tours suitable for all ages and levels of ability, but our tours are not rushed. The
emphasis is to enjoy your surroundings and time is set aside to enable this. We also cater
for partners who may not wish to walk at all and would prefer to relax at a thermal spa,
spend a day by the pool or to go sight seeing. There is much to do here to pass away
the time. We can even organise quad biking and hot air balloon trips, wine tasting,
rock climbing, caving, fishing and paint balling.
Our breaks are hotel based, either in small local hotels or guest houses. The main feature
of the accommodation that we use is that they offer a warm welcome and do speak
English. Most of the rooms are en-suite. Traditional Hungarian cuisine is available either at
the guest houses or at a restaurant within walking distance. There is also no lack of fine
local wines since Northern Hungary is home to two wine producing regions.
