Horseback Riding
During summer we operate a horse rental with a guide for both beginners and advanced riders. We offer a 1 hour tour around our farm or a 2 hour tours around our countryside. Both guides and horses get the weekends off.
Horse-Whispering
If not up for a riding tour we offer an accounter with our horses in a safe environment, for petting, feeding and taking that perfect photo.
Tree Planting
One of our actions that is a part of our sustainability policy is to offer our guests to plant a tree at our farm in order to reduce the environmental impact from their travel.
Northern Lights
Between October and April you can be lucky enough to catch the northern lights. We are at a great location for enjoying the northern lights with low light pollution. Come join us for the best seats available!
