Wild river Bug Valley

During this 4-day ride we explore forests, river valleys and historic countryside landscapes of eastern Poland, close to the Bug River.

Programme outline

Day 0 - Arrival & settling in

Guests arrive individually in the afternoon. If travelling by train, collection from the local railway station is arranged. Guests arriving by air are advised to fly to Warsaw (Chopin or Modlin Airport) - transfer available for additional charge. On arrival, there is time to unpack, freshen up and get settled into the house. We meet in the evening for a meal and an introduction to the stay ahead. Dinner is served at the house, followed by a quiet evening and rest after the journey.

Double room

Day 1 - Forests and sandy dunes (approx. 6 hours in the saddle)

After breakfast we set off for the first day of the ride. The trail leads along sandy forest tracks through pine woods and the gently undulating terrain of the Kamieniecka Forest. Around midday we stop in the forest for a rest and a warm meal. In the afternoon we reach the Zieleniec Inland Dunes — a remarkable area of large inland sand dunes hidden deep within the forest, creating a striking contrast with the surrounding greenery. Return to the stables in the late afternoon. Dinner and time to relax.

Zieleniec Sand Dunes

Day 2 - The Bug River Valley (approx. 6 hours in the saddle)

After breakfast we ride towards the valley of the Bug River, one of the last wild rivers in Europe. The route follows the edge of the Mokry Jegiel Nature Reserve, a valuable natural area that forms part of the former Kamieniecka Forest. In the river valley wide meadows and open horizons appear — perfect terrain for long, flowing canters. We stop by the river for lunch and a rest for the horses. On the way back we pass oxbow lakes and small wetlands that are home to many species of water birds, and ride through historic villages of the region. Dinner together in the evening.

Bug River Landscape Park

Day 3 - History written in the landscape (approx. 6 hours in the saddle)

Today we ride through areas of old orchards and former settlements hidden among the forests — places where the history of the region is still visible in the landscape. We reach the surroundings of the former Treblinka labour and extermination camp. A visit to the memorial site offers a moment of reflection on the tragic events of the 20th century that left a lasting mark on this region. We then continue riding towards the Bug River and stop for lunch among open fields. In the afternoon we return through riverside meadows full of birdlife and small villages scattered across the countryside. Dinner and a relaxed evening in our house.

Day 4 - The final forest ride (approx. 5 hours in the saddle)

After breakfast we set off for the final day of riding, following kilometres of peaceful forest trails. This is a more rhythmic and contemplative day — time for the last canters and a final immersion in the quiet of the forest. Around midday we stop for lunch and a rest in the shade of the trees. Return to the stables in the afternoon, followed by a sweet treat and time to prepare for departure.
