About

Glide through the fairytale winter landscape of the Gyimes hills in a horse-drawn sleigh and enjoy a wide view of the gorgeous scenery around! Our path for the sleigh ride goes through the forests and hills of the Gyimes Valley and none of those places visited during the tour are accessible by car, so it’s just you, horses and snow. There are some slower bits where you can enjoy the views and also some faster ones, where horses gallop and you need to hold tight to not to fall off the sledges on the turns. It’s so much fun! Our horses are local breds, used to mountain terrain, very friendly and patient, and look very cute. We also organize rides in the night which makes the experience really special.

The tours depart daily at 10:00, 14:00 and 18:00 (the evening tour) from the front of the church of Bükkhavaspataka (Poiana Fagului in Romanian) located in the village of Lunca de Jos, 50 km drive from Miercurea Ciuc. 

In order to assure optimal circumstances for organizing this tour, please send your request to book or contact us at least one day prior the chosen date.

Sólyom Major, a tourist center (Ecovillage), aims to create a place for visitors that brings tranquility and takes us out of the everyday rat race. We wanted to establish a true tourist oasis, an Ecovillage, in the heart of Transylvania, where not only our family but also anyone who shares similar values can come. Our guesthouse has 11 rooms and is suitable for team-building events, corporate gatherings, conferences, presentations, courses, and family programs. In 2019, we opened the first gastronomic point in Harghita County, which we envisioned based on the "Farm to Table" concept. Tradition is reflected in our flavors as well. Activities we offer include horse riding lessons, which both beginners and experienced riders can enjoy according to their skill level, either outdoors or in a covered stable. We also provide summer carriage rides and winter horse-drawn sleigh rides, during which you can get a glimpse of the natural beauty and traditions of Kissolymos and the surrounding villages. Additionally, we can organize bread baking, campfires, folk dance nights, and other interesting programs upon request. If you would like to visit us, please call us at +40773 363 964!
