❗ Horseback riding tours must be booked in advance! We recommend that you book 3 to 4 days before your scheduled time. Sopárkút Guesthouse is situated in a beautiful clearing, 14 km from Odorheiu Secuiesc and 31 km from Miercurea Ciuc, in Homorod Băi, on the Cekend Plateau. In this idyllic atmosphere we are welcomed by Szőcs Elek, the host of the guesthouse and of the horse riding center. The horses of the Furioso and Lipitans are kept on the pasture 365 days of the year. According to Szőcs Elek, in winter they prefer the food under the snow to dried fodder. Horses habitually used with mountain life are very dynamic and excellent for hiking trips. From here we can easily travel to the romantic landscapes of the Harghita mountains.
