About this experience

This is a special Tour taking you back in time by horse and carriage. The experience can be likened to a meditation. Slow down and take some time out of your busy life.

Our historical property from 1531, has many animals and natural beauty. We have very nice horses waiting to meet you. This is an ideal way to see the culture and countryside of Silesia. You will notice small things as you pass by on the carriage. The sound of the horses on the route can be very relaxing and peaceful.
