From the wildly romantic Mühlviertel to the mystical Waldviertel
One of Austria's most beautiful and unspoiled regions is the high plateau between the Mühlviertel and Waldviertel. Visitors have even nicknamed this stunning area "Austria's Ireland." You can enjoy this extraordinary landscape on this week-long horseback riding tour. Should you ever feel the urge to swap your comfortable room for a night in a sleeping bag or in the hayloft, just let us know; we can accommodate that. This guided horseback riding tour is designed for adults only and runs year-round with a group size of four to eight people.
