The sound of hooves and vastness. When the snow crunches softly under the runners and the horses move step by step through the winter landscape, the tranquil season becomes tangible. Wrapped in warm blankets, you glide through snow-covered valleys, past farms and forest edges, while the horses' breath becomes visible in the clear air. In the south between Pyhrn and Priel, around the Kalkalpen National Park or in the wide meadows near Bad Hall, winter shows its quiet side. The skids make their tracks through the snow, the view wanders to the mountains. A horse-drawn sleigh ride combines nature experience and tradition - carried by the rhythm of the steps and the serenity of the moment. Romantic horse and sleigh rides with Renate Pernkopf ---------------------------------------------------- Experience a cosy ride in a horse-drawn carriage or snow sledge in the idyllic Stodertal valley with Renate Pernkopf: the sound of bells, glistening snow, the view of the picturesque Schiederweiher pond and the steep rock faces of Spitzmauer & Großer Priel create winter memories for young and old.
