Full description
He who finds a horse finds a treasure.
That's exactly how it is when you participate in our horseback ride in Zubiena: in the company of an equestrian guide, you will ride through the amazing Bessa Special Nature Reserve, the largest Roman gold mine from the Republican era.
An experience of 1 hour, 2 hours or 3 hours, between history and nature!
What we will do
The appointment is at the selected time at the meeting point in Zubiena (BI). On site, we will meet the equestrian guide who will accompany us on this adventure!
Having gathered all the participants and handed over the equipment, we will proceed with horse assignment. Afterwards, we will enter the field, mount the saddle and learn the basics of riding; the guide will provide all the necessary information for a carefree experience. This part lasts approximately 40 minutes.
And here we are ready for our horseback ride: we will venture into the Bessa Special Nature Reserve, landscape part of the Serra moraine, riding along a scenic route until we reach Belvedere. If we select the "3-hour ride" option, we can also admire the remains of the largest Roman gold mine from the Republican era.
We will finally return to the meeting point. The experience lasts a total of 1 hour and 40 minutes or 2 hours and 40 minutes or 3 hours and 40 minutes depending on the duration of the horseback ride selected.
