Along the way, we'll stop for coffee/tea and treats. Martin grew up among horses. Back then, there were no tractors, and all the work was done with horses.

The tour takes you along country lanes, through meadows, and even through areas where you are normally not allowed to go. The Hoge Berg area is particularly beautiful during the spring, when the lambs are born. If you are an experienced rider, it is possible to ride behind the wagon on the back of a Fjord horse. The tour lasts 2.5 hours, and along the way, there is time for coffee or tea with a treat. Groups Have you planned a party or group outing? It is also possible to take a tour with the 'Puur Texel' covered wagon for this purpose.
