Povestea ciobanului cu ochi strălucitori - Vizitare stână turistică A fost odată ca niciodată, că de n-ar fi nu s-ar povesti. Hai cu noi pe culmile munţilor, într-un loc mirific, să ascultăm povestea ciobanului cu ochi strălucitori despre viaţa neştiută a ciobanilor, despre dragostea faţă de munte, de animale şi o viaţă tradiţională, care pare să se aproprie de sfârşit. Pasiunea lui pentru oi, pentru produse naturale şi sănătoase, pentru tradiţii şi obiceiuri dar şi pentru a duce mai departe această îndeletnicire, oieritul, l-a determinat să se adapteze timpurilor.Cine petrece o zi la stână poate afla direct de la ciobani cum e să trăieşti zi de zi în armonie cu natura. Și dacă doreşti să regăseşti liniştea şi pacea interioară, îţi recomandăm să rămâi o noapte la stână, să priveşti stelele căzătoare străbătând cerul înstelat, să stai la poveşti la lumina lemnelor ce trosnesc sub ceaunul cu lapte sau mămăligă şi să dormi într-un cojoc din blană de oaie.

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.

Discover and ramble through the rolling hills and wild flower meadows or climb up to the pastures in the mountains through old pine forests, pure creeks and nearby isolated sheepfolds. During these day tours you can experience both the freedom of horseback riding in Transylvania and the Carpathian Mountains wilderness. Our horse riding tours and holidays are located in the Eastern Carpathians, in the surroundings of the small towns of Gheorgheni, Miercurea Ciuc and Odorheiu Secuiesc and we offer tours that suit all levels and ages. If you are an intermediate rider or above, ride atop a strong and secure Lippizaner or Shagya Arab renowned for their energetic temperament and impressive stamina, as you explore the fascinating local flora and fauna. If you are a beginner rider with good physical condition or one looking for an authentic Carpathian experience, challenge yourself with our Nomad Tour with locally bred horses. The tour starts from the 1375 m high Kovacspeter ridge, where dispersed summer shelters and weekend houses can be found and the trails follow the dense forest roads leading to mountain peaks and along ridges. If you want something unique in Romania, explore the rolling hills of the Harghita Mountains atop the gentle Icelandic horse and enjoy the Icelandic breed’s friendly disposition and calm manner which makes them a delight for anyone to ride, while their unique gaits provide a reamrkably smooth way to travel over rugged or snowy terrain, making long hours in the saddle more comfortable. All rides are lead through unmarked terrain, but your experienced bilingual guide knows the trails like the back of his hand so you can be guaranteed an insider's tour.
