Adventures on a horse-drawn sleigh

Hop, my pony, hop – through the white winter land. Take a seat on the horse-drawn sleigh, wrapped up tight in a thick blanket and cuddled up with your loved ones. The cold and the joy turn your children’s cheek fiery red. May the adventure begin! The coachman clicks his tongue and the horses lapse into a comfortable trot. The ringing of the bells accompanies the romantic horse-drawn sleigh ride, during which you experience nature in a particularly intense way. The leisurely adventure takes you through a winter wonderland made of rustic valley, fairytale forests, frozen lakes, and snowcovered meadows. Lots of fun on winter holiday with children!
