Horse Riding in a Small Group | Hobby Jazda Lipovník

Some places are best discovered slowly. The Slovak Karst is one of them. Its meadows, forests, open landscapes and views have their own rhythm – calm, natural and a little wild. That is why horse riding feels so natural in this region. Lipovník and its surroundings are a beautiful place for anyone who wants to slow down, breathe deeply and experience nature in a different way. Not from a car, not only from a hiking trail, but from horseback, where the landscape feels quieter, closer and more personal. In the wider area, the Silica Plateau is one of the well-known parts of the Slovak Karst. Its open scenery, meadows and peaceful atmosphere show what makes this region so special. It is not only about one exact place, but about the feeling of the whole landscape – space, silence, nature and views that are best enjoyed without rush. At Hobby Jazda Lipovník, we offer horseback riding experiences in the natural surroundings of the Slovak Karst. Our rides are suitable for beginners as well as more experienced riders, but we always focus on making the ride safe and pleasant for both participants and horses. Our regular rides are suitable for participants aged 15 and above and always take place with a guide. For beginners, we recommend calm walking rides, where you can get familiar with the horse, the saddle and riding in natural terrain. No previous riding experience is needed – what matters most is a calm approach, respect for the horse and following the guide’s instructions. More experienced riders can choose longer or more dynamic routes according to their abilities. The pace and route are always adapted to the weather, trail conditions, horses and riders’ experience. When riding in nature, safety always comes first. A protective helmet is mandatory for every participant and we provide it before the ride. We ride in small groups, so every guest can enjoy a calmer atmosphere, more personal approach and a better connection with the horse and the surrounding nature. Horse riding near Lipovník can be a lovely activity during a weekend in Gemer, a holiday in the Slovak Karst or a trip near Rožňava. It is an experience for people who enjoy nature, animals and moments when time seems to slow down for a while. If you are looking for something peaceful, authentic and a little different, come and discover the Slovak Karst from horseback. Lipovník, its meadows, forests and views will show you the Gemer region from a perspective you will not easily forget. Explore our riding routes and choose a horseback riding experience according to your time, expectations and riding experience.

Choose the Right Ride

Beginner or Experienced Rider?

You're a beginner if it's your first time riding or you can't yet control a horse independently and safely at walk, trot and canter in open terrain. An experienced rider can handle all three gaits, maintain balance and respond to unexpected situations. If you're unsure about your level, we're happy to help you choose. Our horse riding experiences are for guests aged 15 and over.
