Horse-drawn sleigh ride
A day in the snow that will stay in my memory for a long time.
What makes the tour so special:
A Day on the Horse-drawn Sleigh
My father Bernhard sits at the front on the driver's seat, and I get to sit next to him while a couple cuddles in warm blankets at the back. Our two horses Guliver and Schwansee stomp through the snow with strong steps. During the ride, we often talk about the beauty of nature, enjoy the family time together, and the soothing silence all around. After a cozy ride, we finally stop for a break. Strengthened and warmed, we return to the horses, who have patiently waited in thick blankets in front of the cabin. They are visibly happy to trot back to the warm stable. We head back home at a brisk pace.
