About
Count Kálnoky's Transilvanian Equestrian Center in Valea Crișului offers riding lessons for children and adults, but also organises three and six-day rides through the most beautiful and remote villages of the region of Baraolt and its surroundings. The tours lead through Valea Zălanului, Bățanii Mici, Filia and Micloșoara, but they don't avoid forests and wildflower meadows.
The horses are sure-footed and have routine, but their temperament is different. To apply, you must be familiar with the three gaits, have trail riding experience and be physically fit.
The Kálnoky‘s belong to the oldest magnates of Transylvania. Members of the family led the Szeklers in the defence of Transylvania for centuries, constantly having to fight against intruding Mongols, Turks and Tartars. Antal Kálnoky set up the first Transylvanian regiment of hussars which remained in service until the end of World War I. He was the last to successfully apply war tactics inherited by the ancient Szekler riding tribes of the steppes, during the 7-year-war (1757). Hugo Leopold was celebrated as one of the best rider of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy in the late 19th century.
