Tradition – Flavours – Experiences

Discover the authentic beauty of Transylvania in Valea lui Pavel, also known as Pálpataka, a mountain village near Corund, situated at an altitude of almost 1,000 metres!

Valea lui Pavel is a distinctive rural settlement of scattered farmsteads, where local families still make their living mainly from livestock farming, agriculture and traditional small-scale farming. During the tour, we travel through pine forests, hay meadows and pastures, passing mountain streams and traditional homesteads. Along the way, guests may see horses, cattle, sheep and other grazing animals while enjoying the fresh mountain air and the peaceful natural surroundings.

Our family-run business has nearly 30 years of experience in equestrian tourism. Our tours are organised with gentle, calm and well-trained horses bred and raised by us, together with comfortable and safe horse-drawn carriages.

Upon arrival, our guests are welcomed with a traditional drink. The pálinka is served in a special small cup decorated with traditional Corund motifs and fitted with a cord so it can be worn around the neck. At the end of the tour, every guest may take the cup home as a gift.

One of the most popular parts of the experience is the traditional open-air gastronomic picnic. Lunch is freshly prepared on site and includes grilled pork neck, mici—traditional Romanian grilled meat rolls—homemade bacon, onions and homemade sourdough potato bread.

While lunch is being prepared, depending on the season and weather conditions, guests may have the opportunity to pick wild blueberries or raspberries or enjoy seasonal mushroom foraging. The programme also includes a short tasting of homemade cheese.

Live music can also be arranged upon request, adding an even more cheerful and memorable atmosphere to the meal and the entire excursion.

After lunch and some time to relax in nature, we return to our horse farm in Valea lui Pavel by a different route. This allows guests to enjoy new landscapes, traditional homesteads and beautiful panoramic views on the way back.

The programme is suitable for guests of all ages. It is an ideal choice for families, couples, groups of friends, organised tour groups, corporate team-building events, school trips, family gatherings and private celebrations.

The complete programme usually lasts between four and five hours. With prior arrangement, both the route and duration can be adapted, allowing us to organise a shorter or a longer tour according to the group’s needs.
